I think it's the key / fob.

 

negatron thats the cruise control "res" resume and "set" wheel... I think its pretty cool

 

shooooot...there it is, it is the key fob stuck into the ignition, good call dragon

 

The "4" the right of the center display inidcating it is in cylinder diactivation mode and therefore a V8 car?

 

The interior is too busy for my taste.

 

Actually the cruise control is on the arm lever just behind it. The upper left button definitely looks like a guage, so it may actually be the controls to customize the speedo display, which may or may not include HUD. As this is the V6 interior, it probably does not include HUD, which is probably a V8 option. (But that's just a guess... we should learn more on Monday.)

 

It cant be the key fob. We've known about it forever.

Nah, cruise is on the wheel. That gauge symbol is GM's symbol for cruise control. You can see it and the set/res/accel/coast options in the high res pic Doug Harden posted.

Couple of things I'm not liking. The power door lock button between the HVAC controls? The spokes on the wheel are too busy w/ all the graphics, and I don't really care for the exposed power outlet in front of the shifter. Plus, it looks like the area behind the door handles may not have much room for your fingers to get in there and wrap around the handle, ala the GTO. Not a biggie for my, but my wife hated it because it tore up her fingernails.

All in all though, I'm digging it.

 

You're right... I need another drink.

 

I was just going to say this, the display says fuel economy, but the readout is in L/100 KM which is a measure of consumption (inverse of economy).

Anyway, one more happy camper here. I'll have to sit in the interior before I can tell if I like it, though. Anyone need a kidney? I have one for sale now...

Also, what is this:



It looks like a camera. Maybe for a HUD? Active Cruise Control?

 

I thought that would be it, but only the automatic is going to get the Active fuel management supposedly, and since this car is a manual, that can't be it. Maybe the DI V6 has active fuel management and can run on 4 cylinder's too, to make it even more fuel efficient? that would be nice.

 

I have been wondering what that is too.

 

Looks like a bolt head and washer to me...

 

Maybe that thing shoots lasers.
