I would have thought GM would have spent the few dollars to insulate this area. I have many buddies that have insulated their C5's and not only does it keep the console cool it eliminates a lot of the noise too.
It's any easy fix that I guess new C6 owners will have to tackle, just like C5 folks have done for years.
