The most worthless thing on the C7
So after driving my car for 3300 miles now. I don't think I've ever even looked at the mph gauge on the left side of the dash. To actually tell my speed.
With so many options for showing your mph the traditional gauge seems like they were just trying to fill that spot.
I bet a couple years down the road they get rid of all the gauges and go full digital.
3300 miles in less than 2 weeks car runs great. First gear full throttle with warm pavement is something to behold!

I thought this thread was going to be about the rear hatch vent that's supposed to make the hatch close easily, but I agree about the analog speedo. It's not very useful. It would be better if the needle wasn't so fat.

There is a speedo on the left side? What!!
Agreed... it's a waste.

The cupholders are so shallow that if I even barely hit the throttle whatever drink I have in it goes flying.

I never evereverevereverever look at that . I think it qualifies as scotoma of the year.

unless I'm in eco or weather mode, which is rare, there's no need to look at the speedo to the left. My cluster's info is what's playing on the stereo, oil pressure, rpm, mph and coolant temp.

How about them plastic valve stem caps. You speed hundred of dollars for chrome or painted wheels and you get plastic valve stem caps. It's not like some non-plastic valve stem caps are not available. GM has non-plastic value stem caps that have real GM part numbers so that you can order them.

another sage observation--completely agree. also, there is something visceral about the view you get from looking at the needle, that "communicates" more about what your speed really means, rather than looking at a single number. the OP is probably a very intelligent and observant individual, but just happens to be wrong about his observation and conclusion on this issue.
