It is a bit more Armani than Brooks Brothers.
Perfect I'm an Armani kind of guy (and BOSS sometimes). Good analogy.

Sitting in a C7 felt a little more confined than the C6. The "cockpit" feel best describes the dash that wraps closer to the driver, where as the C6 dash is more forward. The C7 seats felt very supportive and comfortable. Just like anything, we adapt.
