sorry guys, was requested to remove it. apparently there was a misunderstanding on the confidentiality and the general has seen this.

I wonder if they tweaked the chassis to free up space for seats. As I understand it, C5/C6 is too narrow for a lot of aftermarket seats, adding to owner frustration. Knowing GM's need to accomodate a wide (ahem) range of body types with the factory seats, I'm not confident they'll fix the seat problem for everyone.

You tried, they are on the right track with the seats though.

I really hope that is easily fitted to a C6 and has a side impact airbag attached to the side of it. If so there is going to be a giant market for this seat!

I figured it was only a matter of time before the pic was removed.
I think it's so silly how GM actively hunts down and gets these rogue leaks shut down.
It's just a CAR!

Did it really hurt anything when that Hot Wheels Viper was leaked early?

Why shouldn't they ask that it be removed? If they say nothing, suppliers and contractors learn that it's okay to share confidential information.

I was kind of hoping for the Opel seat, but this frame was a good start. Of course it means fixed side bolsters. I suppose they coul use an inflatable system to tighten it up.

i appreciate it. no real harm done now that the pictures are down. let's just say GM really does spend quite a bit of time on the forum, lol. had i known they were confidential, i'd never have shared.
