Two-tone leather interior and steering wheel mount radio controls. Nothing exterior or performance related.

Nope. Two totally different systems. Navi is DVD based (no subscription), and Onstar is a satellite module (big black box at top of windshield on passenger side).

On star is also offering there turn by turn automated voice prompts. Kind of pointless if you have the dvd navigation unit though

All '05s and '06s have the potential delaminated roof. Just saw an '06 at the shop last week with paper tags and the roof was already coming apart.

To get new roof under GM recall takes about 3-4 weeks. Waiting for one on my Dad's car now.

That's more of a fix than a new option though!

I used Onstar's concierge directions service for a year...they would tell you where to turn about a mile past where you need to. .

I sure hope this voice prompt service is better. I just bought a Magellan 900 so I can take it on the Harley too.

In addition to the new optional two tone interior mentioned, and steering wheel radio controls (on 3LT cars) they also now have a larger glove box and they've eliminated the lock on the center console and eliminated the underhood light too. They also now have a longer powertrain warranty on the 07s (it was just announced yesterday, it's now 100k)

I also forgot to mention, they've dropped Daytona Sunset Orange and replaced it with Atomic Orange. Another change they made for 2007 is that it nows uses the PF48 oil filter, which has a bypass valve built into it. Previous engines had the bypass valve built right into the oil filter base on the block, but now they got rid of that. So if you've got a 2007 Corvette, do NOT run anything other than the OEM AC Delco filter on it, as the other filters for the 97-06 Corvette do not have a bypass valve in them.
