Early observations 2007 Convertible
I took delivery of a new Atomic Orange Convertible (sequence number 15, VIN 64) a week or so ago.
Last night I drove it for the first time and have these observations:
1) The underhood lamp has been eliminated
2) I cannot view any of the gages in the HUD like I could with a C5
3) I cannot view my telephone number, the number that I am calling, or my personal calling minutes remaining in the DIC like I could with my last C6
4) The new color is very nice but was applied very thinly in some spots
5) I did not receive the new fob
6) The trunk won't open completely with the remote. It hangs up.
7) Steering wheel radio controls. Very limited in what they can do. There should be controls that allow access to other functions, i.e. OnStar, DIC settings, etc.
8) I was forced to order a power top to get the other nice features in the package. The top is not fast at all. I can get out and put the top down and then back up manually on a non-power top car faster than the power top.
Just my observations.....
