No doubt. Although the Corvette does use tha Malibu's steering wheel which annoys me. GM is taking great strides to bring it's interiors up to the same level Ford has reached. They still have some ways to go, but in some of the newer offerings, you'd be hard pressed to find the GM in the GM.
Top Gear has and always will badmouth the Corvette and other GM cars. When the Z06 comes out and lists at the top three on thier little chart they will still badmouth it. I still love to watch that show though, I just know what to believe and what not to.
