I love my C5 and would buy a new one if they were still made. That said someday mine will get old and too hard or expensive to fix and I will want a new car. Looking at the C6 and C7 I have to wonder why they have electric buttons and solenoids to open everything? My previous cars had cables to open the hatch, fuel filler, hood, and rods to open the doors. I have never had one fail in 30 years and if it did it would be cheap and relatively easy to diagnose and fix. Does anyone know what the engineers are thinking? I see no weight saving or cost saving. I understand most of the "options" on the car, if most people buy them it only makes sense to make them standard. The only thing I like about our electronic car is the ability to turn off a lot of these features. I have never been comfortable with my car doing things I didn't tell it to do like turning the lights on and off.
Hib, do you have any insight into the Chevy engineers mind?
