I just noticed today that the LTZ doesn't have a steering wheel lock. I can fully turn the wheel left and right while the key is out.

Is this a new design or not?

Yea my LTZ doesn't lock either. This may have been done in case the car is in a wreck and keys are taken or lost. Tow truck can still steer the car w/o the keys to load it up.

My 04 still locks. I really hope they aren't moving this direction. That would suck.
