So are the air intake vents on top of the rear quarters going to be painted? .... in the pic it looks painted...vs, say the material like the C5 Z's rear brake vents were. If so I would say that's going to make it much easier to keep them looking clean.

I have to say, the steering wheel doesn't impress me...I don't necessarily dis like it.....it just looks functional...kind of boring.

I think is this is the first car I actually like in white. But those red seats clash with the red. Maybe if they were black or kalahari.

Do you think there will be an option to have the rear vents by the tail lights painted the same color as the body?

Painted. They will also be available in body color as a dealer installed option to start with.

I'm not so sure about that. 2LT would have center console and doors in red.

I don't - but I think I'm in the minority on that. I do think, as others have stated, that the quality of the materials and fit is better.

I certainly do think it looks better. More importantly, from everything I can tell so far, it IS better. Way better.
