Car is awesome! But is it just me that can't stand seeing fingerprints on infocenter?

If you could figure out a compatible touch screen that didn't show fingerprints, you would be a rich person.

I keep a microfiber cloth in the console to wipe off the fingerprints.

What trim level did you get? My 3LT seats are far more adjustable that my C6 seats were.

Maybe GM will upgrade the computer to Star Trek levels. "Computer! Earl Grey tea, hot" Then the screen slides down and there is your beverage. no more fingerprints.

C6 seats did lean back more. c7 cabin is smaller. There is also a crash or air bag sensor on the back wall behind seat I saw on the plant tour. Because of this the seat cant recline back as much. My tour guide thought this would be relocated if possible to gain some room.

Yeah, it does look like a Starfleet replicator! Good catch.

I hate the fingerprints too and they are always he first thing I see when I get in the car. I hate the touch screen too and I think the concept of touchscreen in a car is dangerous. I prefer buttons. With buttons you can feel your way around and use them without taking your eyes off the road. Can't so that with the touchscreen.

Also, this touchscreen is not sensitive enough. You have to press way too hard to get it to accept your command. I actually hate the entire infotainment system in this car but luckily, that is an area of the car I care the least about.
