You should expect a full orientation on your C6 when you take delivery,including a hands on with the settings of the DIC,and the location of the hidden releases around the car in case you lose battery power.The car comes with a CD on these settings as well,a DVD on the car and a VHS from Corsa,among other things so look for them.This car really does take some time to get to know.I have had mine two months,and am still familiarizing with it's nuances.And of course,congratulations!
P.S. My car had four miles on it when I took delivery at the Museum.

Wait to see and drive your new car! 
You won't want to get out of it, except to polish and admire.
Mine had 4 miles on it. During my visit to BG I spoke to a person driving a new vert and he said they drive them around to test a few things and you should expect 1 or 2 miles for that reason alone.
Good Luck and don't forget to send some pic's
