Looks good except for the busy & overdone wheel. Chevy has had a problem with steering wheels throughout the modern era. Chevy, repeat after me, Simple is Better.
I love it... the steering wheel is straight out of a C4 and will make driving and using the paddles and seeing the large gauge screen very easy.
Can anyone tell what the buttons just ahead of the rotary controller thing are? Also, what's it say on the chrome strip on top of the rotary control palm rest?
Curious... why is there a M manual mode? I thought when you hit the paddles it goes into manual mode? Or, will that revert to auto if you stop using the paddles whereas the M manual mode stays in manual permanently?
What happened to the parking break lever? There it is on the driver’s left next to the steering wheel, knee level. Do you think this is the final on that? Looks like a bad location to me.
It's like Lamborghini and McLaren they always had it down there. We won't use it much anyways since it's dual clutch only.

Seems like a logical place as many cars with a foot activated parking brake have the release over there.

It's that way in most all cars, and as been for awhile. Yes, in auto mode, you can use the paddles to up- and down-shift, but it will revert back to automatic after a minute or two. The only difference here is that most auto TC or DCT cars have a shifter handle you move to the left to go full-time manual mode. This one apparently just has a button because there is no shifter.
The cars with shifter handles allow to you move it to the left into manual and up- or down-shift with either paddles or the shifter handle. On my F-Type and in my wife's Alfa Giulia, I always use(d) manual mode, and the shifter more than the paddles, because I'm so used to driving manuals, and that just feels more right to me. However, I'm not talking about trying to set fast laps.
