Yeah, now that you point it out though, there are no numbers on the coolant temperature. I never have that on my pocket gauges though.
Interesting observation: If you count the ticks up from 100 to the big tick, that in the US, says 220, the ticks are in 20 deg. increments, above 220 the same size ticks are 10 degrees, and they are spread out. It makes sense when you think about it, but only if you know it does that.
I just noticed one other difference. The U.S. Cluster shows the Compass Direction on the bottom right by the shift indicator. Wonder if it is a feature based on the LT packages or by the country.

I prefer the Sport display tach w/pocket gauges (middle pic) To play with all settings without starting car...press start button for 5 seconds (not in owners manual)
It is they call it "Service Mode"
It's basically having the car in "Run" mode without the Engine cranked. On manuals you get there by not hitting the clutch, on automatics not hitting the brake. I don't think you have to hold it for 5 seconds, just longer than a press (if you hold it for longer than 5 it puts it in the mode automatically).
I think Speedometers should ALWAYS be on the right. So I think the C7 cluster is backwards.
Sorry but this car does not offer a center analog speedo. The one on the left is partially hidden by the steering wheel and forces you to take your eye off the road, so to me, it's worthless. I wish you can change the center but you can't.
