Default Features

Since production is a mute issue at the present, I thought I'd ask about a few features if anyone knows the answers.

Is there a fold out cup for sunglasses?

Is the forward (always closed in the photos) square pop up in the console designed as a coin tray or ash tray? Hopefully it'll make a good coin tray for me.

Are the windshield wipers rain sensing or just multi speed and intermittent?

Is the cruise the new adaptive cruise control or the standard that's been around for awhile?

It seems early speculation was the satellite antenna is in the mirrors (as in the C6), but the break down graph of suppliers indicates it's in the fenders somewhere. Does anyone have direct knowledge on that?

I'm sure others have questions too.

Are the windshield wipers rain sensing or just multi speed and intermittent? (just multi-speed no rain senser)

Is the cruise the new adaptive cruise control or the standard that's been around for awhile? (Standard cruise no adaptive cruise)

It seems early speculation was the satellite antenna is in the mirrors (as in the C6), but the break down graph of suppliers indicates it's in the fenders somewhere. Does anyone have direct knowledge on that? (Onstar is on the windshield like the C6, AM/FM and XM are in the wheel wells not in the mirrors like C6)

I'm sure others have questions too.

If we could only get hold of the owners manual.

That's the piece that is holding up the entire production process. It's the reason they give out TPWs and then rescind them. Proofreaders keep finding a comma out of place and they have to reprint.

Thanks Ken, it's been driving me nuts. They can't send out an empty glove box, wouldn't be right .

There are two storage locations to the right of the shifter. One is a dual cup holder, one is an auxiliary power outlet (12 volt accessory plug). The center divider of the cup holder is removable so that it can be used for sunglasses.

The wipers are multi speed and intermittent, not rain sensing.

Cruise control is traditional.

The antenna is in the body as I recall, not first hand knowledge as in I've seen it but that is what I have been told.
