Interior – General

Quality and materials for interior are apparently "best ever "
IMO it is far better than C6, maybe not Cadillac

LED ambient lighting

Steering wheel has flat bottom like an F1 car

Ride control selector is in same place (as C6?)

Convertible up and down button in same place (as C6?)

Interior – Instrument Panel – General

Center stack in interior similar to current but vertical passenger grab handle just to right of Nav unit

Front park assist. For all you with no depth perception

Back up camera

Parking brake handle is nonexistent as far as I can see but looks like it is a switch in center console like a window switch…. Maybe electronic. Just to right of ride control selector. Not sure how it works..

Interior – Instrument Cluster

Dash similar setup to Cadillac XTS with CUE electronics system

Instrument cluster has big Nav type screen in middle with semi circle ears on each side
Instrument cluster has large flat screen about 4" high by 6.5" wide centered in middle
I'm sure you can set the middle screen to display what you want
The Driver Information Center (DIC) is the big panel between the speedo and the fuel gauge, it has several settings

Big digital tach, apparently
I didn't see an old school tach so it must be one of the settings on the instrument cluster central screen

However, there is definitely an old school 200 mph speedo on the left pod beside the screen
Speedo gauge on left like a reverse capital "D" and the right side cluster looks like a capital "D"

Left side has physical speedo, warning lights clockwise starting from about 10 o'clock position, traction off, tire pressure, brake warning, abs, slippery road condition light

Right gauge cluster, fuel upper right, lower right temp, warning lights stack up and down in straight line just to right of DIC
Fuel warning, airbag, engine, seatbelt, car locked light

Under center of speedo dial is light for mph or km

Corvette script logo separates fuel and temp gauge

DIC is outstanding and 'Nav Bluetooth is better than Ford Sync'

I didn't see a HUD but that doesn't mean it is not there

Interior – Information and Entertainment

Will stream music wirelessly and will have apps on the touchscreen? (Yes? No?)
Like the caddy

9 speaker Bose with subwoofer in trunk

Wireless connection to iPod and some type of charge pad

Interior – Seats

Heated and cooled seats
