Grab Bar
Think the Grab Bar on the C7 console is not needed. IMO, it makes the interior smaller and really doesn't serve a purpose, can't picutre a passenger grabbing it with their left hand. Without it the lines in the interior would be cleaner. That said I'm looking forward to getting a C7, looks better in person than in pictures.

I'm taking the positive attitude and assuming it was some kind of compliment.

I like it, both because it clearly deliniates the "driver's space" and gives an antsy passenger somewhere to hold onto.
I *REALLY* like it because I often commute with a passenger who, in my now gone '01, rested their hand on the parking brake handle and often tensed up when I took a corner fast... which scared the hell out of me cause I really did not want the car to come to a sudden stop if they ever tensed up and lifted their hand while it was on the parking brake.

not integrated fluidly.
If it flowed better maybe... THe interior could do without in imho. That said, it's not a deal breaker by any means lol
The two different DOOR PANELS are what really bothers me about the interior?

I like it. It separates the passenger from the driver. There was one guy here on the forum that didnt want to buy the C7 because he wanted his wife to feel like she is part of the driving experience but because the interior is separated by the grab handle, he feels she is so far away.LOL
