Button typo
Had my car for going on 4 yrs now. Always looked odd to me, but never really put it together till a friend pointed out that "Gages" is spelled wrong on my cluster button. Apparently they omitted the u. Any reason as to why? Did a quick search of the forum and couldn't find a thread and surely i'm not the first person to notice. Couldn't have been for space because they squeezed in options properly spelled.

Anyway, it is just another example of the C5 design/engineers more concerned about making this car electrically and mechanically complicated then paying attention to the basics. Sorry ET.

Gauge is the preferred spelling Chev/GM goofs again.

I hope he doesn't point out the massive gap that you could drive a truck through where the center bezel meets the dash - you better never sit in your passenger seat, or you will have a whole new thing to notice. lol

This may need its own thread. Why would anyone sit in their passenger seat?!

The spelling is fine - probably saved a few pennies by leaving out the one letter.
