lol Blose, That **** is for housewives who pick there husband's audio system for them. That **** sucks. Over priced over hyped junk. I agree with C7ZR1forT. Put something good in it not what people are used to thinking is good.

Like the stock, non-Bose system.

Don't be such a cynic. It's obvious that, based on the spy shots, the C7 will indeed have a steering wheel. This puts all the buzz about a lack of a steering wheel to rest.

I can also see an air vent on the dash and a windshield. You can even make out a roof. Previous spy shots have also confirmed that the C7 will have four wheels, eliminating the possibility of a three wheel variant. Can it get any more exciting?

Well, they were going to go for a 2+2, but found the rear seats didn't have any legroom. Someone got confused and they ended up with a 0+2 design. Only back seats and no front seats. On the upside because of the 0+2 classification, you can have 12 years in the right hand passenger seat without turning off the airbag. They also saved money on the airbag sensors normally in the front seat, this also saved 12 ounces at the same time.

No, no, you are just confused. That is what it looks like when someone with a 32" instead of a 52" waist sits in the driver's seat of a Corvette.

Default why not tint?

Whether these are real or not, why don't they tint the windows on the mules to keep prying eyes out as much as possible? Seems so simple. Maybe they need to test the impact of heat or UV on the interior surfaces or something...

It was bound to happen. GM has been criticized for not revealing enough and now for revealing too much.

Looks like the A pillar is really wide. This was a real problem on track with my camaro ss as it was difficult to judge turn in points. I hope this car does not suffer the same blind type of spots that current camaro has.

What's with the superfluous carbon fiber trim flowing down off the dash around the driver's legs?

what I see is a modern interpretation of the late C4 interior (1990-1996). Right side of the dash cluster seems to wrap around and is positioned closer to the driver. I like what I see. That is not a photoshop...
