I'm sure the dash is actually in color.
Too bad the best looking C7 is the representation in the DIC.
The lengths they have gone through to NOT show us any real pic of the car, I'm sure they tweaked that graphic for the video.
I really don't think they told the graphics guy, "just use a picture of a C6"

Looks like a leaf spring is visible in the first pic, but mounted in a different location than on C5 and C6, lending more proof that the frame will be a greater departure from C5/6 than some were expecting.

I'm sure the DIC will be updated to a C7 for the production car. They put all that work into camo, they certainly aren't going to have the dash show a big C7 image to any spy photographer that could get a lucky shot of it. They need to have a placeholder there to test all the displays and systems properly and the C6 works just as well for that purpose.
On that note, I like the LFA dash quite a bit, so I'm pretty excited to see this in the flesh. Also sort of a modern day throwback to the C4 in a way.
And say what you will, but at least they're trying, not just making the same car they've made from 1997 to 2013.

Well, we now know there is a rear anti-sway bar on the C7.

Ox was accurate , another disappointing video...
My prediction of seeing a more exposed car was dead wrong.
If we are lucky, one of our resident sleuths will see something that others could not.

Also Notice what he says at 0:19 -- " Your just making the car right for the road you are on"
Seem like it the magnetic shocks will be back, maybe even come standard. Or hopefully more options for it beside slightly stiff to slightly stiff

I did come up with an Alex McDonald, a " GM performance integration engineer "
He is the fellow with the helmet in the videos. He is also toggling a 4 way switch on the r/s of the steering wheel to change the electronic gauges - this info from "Autoweek"
