C6 Interior observation
This first picture is from preproduction models at Autoshows back in '04 I think
This is from a production model.
Notice how in the preproduction the radio stack is the same color as console surround? I wonder why they changed it, I like it better that way.

Its all about money folks, that unpainted surround most likley saves GM 10 cents a car so bye bye it went. This is why GM is in the dumper they pull this kind of crap all the time. Then there stuff looks sub par to the other makers that go the little extra distance. will they ever learn?

Actually, the surround is all one color in both pictures, but the radio faceplate and the HVAC ontrols (I think), are the sdame color as the surround and match the interior. Right now the C6 has, what 4 or 3 interior colors. So that incurs the additional costs. How do other supercars do it? Multiple radio face plats changes, or all black?

Maybe my wording threw you off.
