    Default New 2012 Seats

    Have a 2010 GS Coupe and thinking on trading for a new 2012 GS Coupe.
    Anyone out there have a new 2012 with the new seats and how are they in comparison?

    I can only tell you that they are much better than the seats on my 08 vert...

    As far as the seat design, 08 and 10 are the same so if the 12 seat is an improvement over the 08, it'll be better than a 10 by the same amount.

    So far the mainstream road test books say the 12 seat is better but still not as good a seat as the car deserves.

    I've ordered a 12 and I guess I'll find out if they're right when I get the car this coming April.

    Hib,
    What did you order? I've been lurking around at various forums and see your comments occasionally, so as a 2010 GS owner I'm interested in what you are ordering in the 2012 year... Al

    By far better seat. I own a 2008 coupe (see my garage ) and just bought a new 2012 centennial gs.... And i like the seat quality much better. I wish they would have done a dash upgrade..... But I am not sure if the centennial gs seats are different from other 2012. I know i wouldn't but a new car for the seat... I would buy a new seat for my current car.

    This is my first vette so i can't speak on it, but current owners who have sat in the passenger side have mentioned the seats are more padded and comfortable than their current one. C6 owners across the board.
