The Driver Mode Selector looks like it will really change feel of the car, more so the "competitive Mode" does for the C6:
"Other parameters that are changed in the various settings include the throttle input curve, the steering effort, the exhaust “cutouts”, the launch control, traction control via engine torque..."

Nice read, and I'm VERY happy to see that the steering wheel likely won't be in the production car. It was my biggest gripe about the new car...it didn't look sporty enough to match the rest of the interior or the car.

I'm hoping they mean two sets of clubs. It's rude to give a buddy a ride to the course and leave his clubs at home.

I too like that little storage spot behind the infotainment screen. So useful for various items one normally struggles to find a spot for.

I just wish the trim around that infotainment screen looked a bit better. I guess that falls under their "if it looks like X, it IS X" and in this case, X is plastic, lol.
Glad to have the extra storage space though Won't have to throw crap in my cupholders anymore.

Excellent article - Best I've read to date.
You also touch on something related to the exterior design that I read elsewhere and agree with: There could have been a bit fewer lines and details if the artist had lifted the "paintbrush" a little sooner. Sometimes less is more.
My 2008 C6 is starting to look old...

except those aren't to protect the animals on the tracks, it was there to prevent the train from a derailment. I am going to look at the Vette's nose the same way. In fact I think we should sharpen them up a bit.
