The 2013 and 2014 have had adjustments such as the mylink and recaro seats but even still it needs an uplift.
If Chevrolet can take some cues from Dodge such as the better mylink interface, digital guages, better leather materials, safety features, etc then I'd be a happy camper.
You'll see more 2012 than newer years because the lack of what the newer models have.

I agree with you to a point in that this vehicle should of had the Mylink radio from the start in 2012. Don't know why it came with the old radio for only one model year. The 4 gauges on the bottom near the shifter should also have a digital interface within the HUD. Other than that this car is pretty much packed with technology. Think about how many cars outside of this one offer a HUD in the first place filled with valuable information that makes you feel like you're piloting a fighter jet. What other manufacturer builds a car with this performance at this price point that lets you send Navigation directions from your phone to the unit in the vehicle to display when you start it up, or lets you send a signal from your phone to start or disable the car? The rest of the technological marvels lie within the suspension that is probably the most sophisticated of any car on the planet (Bold Statement but it really is that good)
As far as the seats I think they are great and no matter how much we spend or how high the quality, our butts constantly rubbing against them over time will cause wear. They are very comfortable for me at least. There may not even be a 6th generation ZL1 to be had. We may have reached our Zenith for performance of this kind. With 580 hp this car gets horrible fuel economy. More performance will likely mean it will get even worse mileage. Don't expect leaps and bounds in the 6th generation car at least from a performance and technology standpoint. There will always be new creature comforts with any new vehicle however. Enjoy these cars for what they are while we can is my motto.
And as far as safety is concerned this is a 5 star crash tested vehicle, I believe. That was the only thing that sold my wife on it regardless of everything else mentioned.
I often think of how far video game systems have come when I think about cars. When looking at the technology and performance gap between the original Nintendo Entertainment System and the XBOX 360 it seems immense both visually and performance wise, but how much better is the New XBOX One? Not leaps and bounds visually and I'll bet the performance and game play is also similar. Sure, new creature allow you to talk to it and other things but the game play and visuals are very similar.
