Vert observation
Kind of wondering out loud.
With the new aerodynamics, how much difference will there be in wind buffeting with the top down?
I know, time will tell when it finally hits the street. That was one thing I hoped might be a little less in the C7.
If not, I guess there will be another opportunity for after market screens.
I'm just daydreaming waiting for the new C7 to hit the market.

Here's a wild thought: Are you guys familiar with the "air scarf" system on Benz convertibles? When driving on cool days with the top down it blows warm air on your neck. Maybe some of the hot air expelled from the C7 hood vent will make its way into the cockpit and warm the occupants on those cool days...

when I have the top down and am cruising at higher speeds there is not too much buffeting at all.

And blast hot air on those hot days.
