Actually, Mr smarty pants, sueded microfiber is the correct term. Look it up, that's what GM calls it.

And yes, I know alcantara is the same thing, it's just marketing. They are both synthetic suede.

I bet you the trim is changed a couple model years later. Think 06-07 Z06 and the interior trim changes that happened in 08.

I don't like the aluminum/silver bits either..

Good! I hate overdone logo's.

Speaking of logo's.. Advertising the HP behind the shifter.. Meh, I'd prefer they didn't.

I like the rest of the interior. Very cool. Alcantara steering wheels/headliner.

Cheap leather/vinyl that most american manufacturers use, turns shiny over time unless you constantly clean/sanitize it. Even then..

Also, at the track, alcantara please!

May be he's looking up at it ....................

I'm loving the D bottom steering wheel!

Beautiful interior.




Me too.

Yes. Lovin the D bottom wheel.

It'll be interesting to see how long it takes to make it's move to the base C7.

Looks good. I wonder if anybody else notices the seats...they look like yet another modifed version of the Recaro Sportster CS, just with cheaper leather and a different pattern. Many cars use those seats. That bottom cushion looks lame. Maybe it's the pictures but it's tough to see the contrasting stitching. Hope it stands out like on the 3lz c6. Beyond that its good overall.

I actually hate the way alcantara feels and gets after hard use and its been worn....hopefully all that is optional and you can get standard leather. If not....I guess I'll live with it...

MudZ06

overall decent, but too bad they didn't address these areas.. ugh... maybe they will in a few years with a refresh.

It does get matted in the sections where your hands frequently touch after prolonged use. Good thing is this stuff is very durable and easy to clean and return back to like new condition. There was a thread in a Cadillac forum where a CTS-V owner with a dirty and matted microfiber suede shifter. He posted instructions and pictures of how he cleaned it to like new condition. Gave me a lot of confidence in this material. I'll see if I can find it.

JockItch

Here it is. Doesn't have the before picture anymore because the thread is kind of old. I do remember the results being dramatic though.

Thanks! I am a Cad owner and on that forum....never seen that before.

After years of dealing with painted silver plastic, real aluminum is now considered atrocious?

JockItch

It's what I'll be ordering for sure. Love the look and feel.

So besides the D steering wheel/logo nothing is different that you can't get on the 3lt in this picture?
