Centre DIC is the only area with customizable display views.
Doubt all could crap out at once.
Well, that sucks. I was hoping for something like the XTS. Oh, it's still going to be awesome.

How long have you been driving? If every instrument in my car went I out, I could easily drive it long enough to get it to a dealer, even if it took a week. I wouldn't go racing in it, but in normal drving, no problem.

The speedometer may be the most critical, however, if you drive with the flow of the trafic, it should be no problem. You might fill up the car at the next gas station just to be safe.

What would stop you from driving?

The middle DIC is much bigger than you would imagine.

If you dig up my previous posts on the interior, I described in detail the location of each gauge, layout etc.

I think it's a little early to be comparing DIC size...

If you review the #2 teaser it does show the tach center empty of the C6 at one point.

By looking at this I realized what is bothering me about the C7 dash...I think I want less of it , it looks too massive. A dash like that can make the car feel larger up front. I want less dash and more visibility.

It also looks like a C6. look at the headlights, they are not shaped like the current c7 lights we've seen. also the mouth and the fog lights also scream c6, why would they put a C6 in there ? My guess is it was from on purpose to keep from revealing too much.

Still no coilovers Aftermarket suspension dealers can still make money with C7. I hope the dampers are at least bilstein or other high quality this time.
