In later-year C6s, are all steering wheels black, or do they match the seat color?

That steering wheel looks too light to be black.

Lot's of helmet room, if that is the same guy from the other photos. High window lines on the inside(won't be to many folks cruising with their arm hanging out) Looks like that same seat we saw earlier but thicker.

This whole teaser shyt has been a terrible marketing campaign, it does absolutely nothing to boost my excitement with the car by showing pictures of some dudes helmet and a steering wheel or by showing blurry images. And the officially leaked pictures have been so vague, I have no motivation to look forward to the next planned leak. Thank god its only 6 more weeks until the autoshow, because thats about the only thing they've "teased" me into looking forward too.

Instead of wasting money on these bullshyt pictures and videos. Show us small pieces of the actual C7 that have been greatly improved over the C6. Hell they've already showed us the engine, would it really hurt to show the wheels. Or the brakes. Or the suspension. Or the exhaust. Or the seats. Or the HUD. Hell even a picture from underneath the car. I know they want to save the best for last.. showing the whole car at the NAIAS happening in Detroit. But the above picture shown could have came from ANY car.

As much as I totally agree with you, you might as well give it up. Folks here in CF eats this shyt up and love what GM is doing with it. They might as well have said nothing since they will now have all the time from Jan. 13th on till first orders are taken to fill up.

I am refusing to visit the C7 1-13-13 web site and will no longer be looking at any of the 'teaser' crap.

Right off the bat I think the videos are poorly done. Someone somehow could have created better films
But...... When the second video came along and revealed less than the first it just kicked me right in the teeth.

As for the Ox closing his eyes to the third video, that is a big "notgonnahappen"

OEM is all black all the time.
