The temp sensors are normally around the knee height area. A little below radio level. Wouldn't want one where it would be in the sun.

the drivers door panel is different than the passenger panel?

That view out the back looks really, really tiny.

10-4 on the blind spot, hopefully exaggerated by the wide lens.
Have to sit in this car for sure'ya to know. But I have concerns ... |

Like the seats. Not sold on the carbon fiber look yet - pictures don't make it look very real (looks like it has a dull finish?).

That's cool. Thanks for the post. :thumbs:

Sorry for the late post but I finally had time to check it out and I'm also concerned about the rear vision. I'm really surprised with all the push for vehicle safety features they design something that really seems to go against those goals. The new rear window style as viewed from the outside has not exactly played to positive reviews by everyone and when it has the potenial for view issues as well it does not seem like a well thought out design. I have a deposit on a C7 and may actually change to a 'vert for this reason. I've been used to good rearward vision on my C4,C5, & C6 coupes and this sure seems like a step backwards. Maybe that's why the Stingray name was picked-so the '14 could be like the '63 and then next year they can change the rear window as they did in '64...

"Dull finish" or dry CF actually is higher quality and more expensive than the shiny or "wet" stuff, although it doesn't look as slick.:cheers:

To OP; leave it to a nurse to take care of us, great link, thank you! Were you the lucky one who was acually inside the C7 who filmed this? If so, how comfortable/not are the Competition seats?

Unfortunately no, I have not seen it in person and if I would have been that lucky they would still be trying to pry my hands off the steering wheel while I made motor sounds with a glassy look in my eye.

Great find on the 360s, thanks! |
One of the earlier GM documents noted the outside mirror design of the C7 took into account the reduced view through the hatch area.
For most drivers it will probably be most noticeable as a side blind spot when backing out of a parking space but the mirrors will compensate in normal road use. The rear pillar on the Cadillac CTS has this same effect when leaving a parking space. A backup camera doesn't help because the blind spot occurs at an angle on each side. |

Maybe and I thought the same until I noticed that it seems the camera angle is from the center of the car looking back. That means, the little side windows don't show at all. But then again, we don't sit in the middle either.

I guess we'll have to wait for some of the mgazine road test articles to get opinions on the rear view issue for someone who has actually driven it.

You really need to see this beauty in person, and there are 2 days left to the show in Chicago. In an effort to give back to the Female nursing community for all they do, I have extra tix and a spare bedroom and your welcome to join me. My C5 is asleep in the garage and you can sit in it, grab the wheel and "make motor sounds" for as long as you'd like. I'll also hook up the widescreen in there so you can play Gran Tourismo and Need For Speed from the cockpit! This offer is only valid if you are a female RN, of course! ;) ...
