Those of us who have done 10+ hour cross country drives in the S beg to disagree. 
but i can't argue with the sky being more comfortable, as i've never sat in one.

We drove the S down to Orlando, ~2 hours, and we were both pretty comfortable. FTR, it's an '07 with stock shocks, ASD springs, aftermarket 18" wheel/tire setup.
I don't think it's so much agree/disagree since it's totally subjective and people's tolerances vary _way_ too much. I had people tell me my base suspension C5 Corvette was way too stiff
Hell, we drove my Supra to Atlanta (~6 hours) and it had a stiff aftermarket setup (TEIN, TRD, etc.) and it didn't bother us much either. However, we're also both constantly liquored up, so maybe that's a big factor.

I think its a car to car thing. The Corvette and Solstice are/were chrome free. The Corvette added a bit inside but very little and generally tasteful.
The Sky went the opposite way.
Both can look good when done right.

I think there's a little "chrome mentality" leftover from the ol' school days of the 50/60's (which we know based on some of the domestic business models, is still alive and well).
I'm not 100% but I believe chrome Vette wheels are still an option (the base are just painted silver), but it seems like tons of dealer stock is ordered with chrome, since they shur is pretty an' all.

Vette comes with chrome wheels stock - Amerikunz want chrome, or so GM thinks.
