Default Interior Colors

If you order other than the ebony interior do you get a matching steering wheel or is it black in all cases ?

The steering wheel is the same regardless of which interior color(s) you order.

So if you order a cashmere interior you get a black steering wheel ? I hope not. Even in cheaper cars the steering wheel matches the interior. My C6 has an ebony interior so I don't mind the black wheel because it matches.

The only difference in the steering wheel is some have integrated audio controls, others do not.

Other than that it's pretty much the same steering wheel you'll find on other new GM cars as well.

I still think the three spoker looks good.

You can always order an aftermarket upgrade like from DSV.

You are correct. I do believe you will get a black leather lined steering wheel with silver inserts on both sides and a crossed flags logo in the center.

Yup, the color of the steering wheel is black (actually "Ebony"), regardless of what color interior you order. At least that's the way it's been so far - I suppose it could change on the '08s but no one has mentioned anything about it as far as I know. One thing to keep in mind is that regardless of which interior you get (even if it contains Titanium, Cashmere, or Red), much of it will still be Ebony in color. In all cases, the upper dash and upper door panels are Ebony so the Ebony steering wheel certainly doesn't look out of place. In addition, the optional 2-tone seats are only colored in the center sections; the outer bolsters are still Ebony.

Sorry, GM isn't really good at interior coordination so there's a whole aftemarket for this type of thing.
