Anyone else have a HUD that is slightly tilted?
My HUD seems to be slightly tilted and not level. Anyone else have that issue? Yes I'm being picky but this is something that is in my face so I can't help but notice.

I thought mine was...tt's not actually...it's an optical illusion related to slope of hood. Seriously.

My God, if you close both eyes, the HUD disappears completely. It's obviously a computer error caused by 'rushing the car into production', and high time time for a 'recall'!

I talked to another C7 owner last night, and we both thought the HUD leans to the right. It may be an optical illusion due to the hood angle, but it can sure be bothersome. I held a ruler up, and it seems like it may be slightly leaning.
I didn't ask the dealer, it would be nice if there was a way to adust it. The panel on the dash only allows for straight up and down adjustment.

You are not being picky......This QC stuff is unreal! This is kind of expected on a 20k car....not a 50-60k one. Maybe they rushed these due to all the bitching!

Shots lines and gaps are uniform and true. Paint is excellent. Interior trim is aligned with no observable flaws. Car drives great with no odd noises or vibrations. All the toys and electronics (at least what I've gone through) work as advertised or better.
Like many others, the ride height on mine is a little high and I may lower it. I'm going to drive it a bit first and let the suspension settle and see how close I am on speed bumps and driveway entrances.
If I had to complain about anything (hey, it's the forum... complaints are required) it's something that I lightly complain about in every new car I've owned since the addition of airbags. And that's the ridiculously large warning signs on the visors. Maybe 20 years ago when airbags were high end options warning labels were a good safety item. Not any more. The warning signs need to move into the 21st century.
But I will say this, I'm having so much fun driving this fun-mobile that I only notice the airbag signs for a second before I press the start button.

Hmmmm, if mine was rushed then maybe they should rush all of them. I picked up my car last night and have spent the day driving it and going over it looking for all the reported flaws. Know what I found? Nada, nothing.

Visor decals - any graphic artists out there?
When I joined the CTS V forum after I got my coupe one of the members created a sticker that fit over those hideous warning labels. I don't have it to post, but it featured a cool silhouette of the Vcoupe against a black background, in your choice of a couple of colors, referenced the supercharged 556 HP engine, and listed the born on date of your car. He could get you a pair for $20. I know he sold an few sets cuz a lot of us wanted those fugly things covered.
