I can it see it being a huge problem for folks that have two cars with normal sized two car garages. I understand many owners on here have big expensive garages but I bet this is going to be a major screw-up on Chevy's part. Not to mention, I don't always park in BFE and getting out in a normal parking spot will be tough.

We'll see how close they park these bad boys to each other at the dealers.

You are missing the point. This ain't no normal door like on your C5. Its a big fat-*** door and physics are physics.

This being said, I wish we could get info on the width of the car at the widest point on the door.

As I predicted, the fang wouldn’t stick out as far as the camo cars. It’s still out there, but not enough to bug me.

As careful as one can be, a big gust of wind occasionally catches my door in parking lots. There will be many gripes to come from this “oversight”, IMO.
