Default So where are you going to rest your right hand?

Similar to the rotary shift **** on the FCA products, there is no place to rest your right hand? FCA has corrected it now with shifters so at least I can keep my right hand engaged to the gearshift. This how difficult a parking manoeuvre will be on the C8??

Must be because I drive automatics but I normally rest my left hand and keep my right on the wheel.

3 o clock
Seriously though, take a look at the leather covered hand rest right above the mode selector wheel. That's it. Anyone driving a Mercedes should be very familiar with this same hand rest. My Mercedes however is made of black plastic that turns into HOT LAVA on a summer afternoon. Dr Z is a sadistic man.

the steering wheel where it belongs. Nothing is more amateur than resting your hand on the shifter.

Unless you are driving a manual transmission. I know the C8 does not offer a manual at this point ( hopefully to come)

Still pretty amateur to drive that way but you sure are right about how irrelevant that point is for the C8.

Ok only slightly off topic. How is this sitting from the passenger seat? Where does passengers left arm rest?

On the other side of the wall! If she's lucky I'll let my wife dip an elbow on the glovebox. I want to be clear here. This isn't a JetBlue flight and the armrest isn't shared space.
While I'm talking about THE WALL, I want to point out what Porsche and Mercedes sport cars center tunnels look like.


By comparison, GM made a conservative choice by making the rise only on the passenger side. The C8 just carved out the driver's side of the bridge.
