I think it's deceptive to use an all-black C6 interior, and a red/black C7 interior.
Just the color difference makes the C7 look a lot better in comparison.

Jalopnik should know better.

A C6 with the red or other two tone 4LT interior should have been used for this comparison.

I don't know that the comparison does much for me. My complaint has always been the cheap *** materials (all that plastic on the door and console), the lack of leather and the cheap construction. My seat back has just given way before when I've leaned up to get my wallet out of my pants.

Not to mention, it's noisy has hell. Windows don't seal well, not well insulated and so forth.

You can't tell if they've fixed that on a picture.

Nice find. The comments on jalopnik have pics of the c4 and 5 which imo gm said lets mash up the left side of the c4 and right side, the c5 to make the c7 interior layout. I like the layout of the c6 interior better. Fan of the gauge cluster on the c6. The centennial edition in person looks and feels a lot better then the reg c6. I know the c7 has much improved materials but for me the layout is not my cup to tea. Could love it when I see it in person.

not a fair comparison. use the two tone red/black one that you can get with the C6 and it becomes a whole different ballgame. i for one never knocked the C6 interior. yes i thought it could have been a little better in certain areas but i never belittled it and it was acceptable for me. im not a big person 5'9" 160lb so the seats always felt right for me and very comfortable.
