Lol!

Yeah, I know... But I'm more a 'cruiser' guy than a 'sports' guy.
Anyway, I like it...

I, too, had double take, because I thought that was a photo shop.

How does that affect the side-impact airbags?

On longer trips I usually am wearing an L.L. Bean polarfleece vest with inner pockets on the bottom of each side, perfect places for a wallet--and I don't find that I've left it in the car when I need it. Cell phone goes into the pocket on the other side.

I had Recaro seats years ago in my Omni GLH (still have them as office chairs with appropriate bases). When I was looking in the Recaro catalog, they had a version of their seats for law enforcement with a flat bottom and lesser bolsters on the seat back (to make room for all of the equipment LEOs wear). Something like that probably would be perfect for some people. I suspect that a good upholstery shop could modify the existing seats.

It doesn't. These are custom hand made for the C7 seat, not generic cover-alls. They were made at Superlamb Auto in San Diego.

And they are "comfy-womfy"!

I love these seats. 2014, regular seats. 5'11" 240#

I get in. Snuggle into them and go.

Last summer I took an 8 hour drive in it (something I never did in the C6 which was spine twisting). At the end, I got out and felt great. For me, it was totally comfortable.
