I think it's probably not the speaker, surely this car would have the ability to have the audio in stereo up front. Maybe i'm wrong and there are new stereo central speakers...

Anybody else notice the traction control button just beside the 12v plug ?

Me too, thats another reason I'm working under the assumption its a 6 cylinder. That would be awesome if the 6 is close to or north for 300 ft-lbs.

It would kinda make me wanna cry thinking about my tired old 3.4L with like 140...

The area I'm talking about definately is perforated like a speaker grille....

585858 is probably how many KM's Jason D put on the test car at the meet.

I think that's the Odometer number personally, and I obviously don't think that number reflects the vehicle location in any way.

What the RPM guage icon on the left, top button on the steering wheel? Is that the cruise lock?

Edit: That shift pattern is going to mess me up for a while, 10 years of R in the top right corner. Hope there's a lock out...

Edit2: How does the door lock work in the middle there? Slide it down to lock?

I totally agree with you, zoomed in it really looks like it... i haven't seen this mono audio setup since the 80's... maybe i don't get out much. Though i have seen speakers tilted upwards and properly diffused left and right, not in a car yet.

edit : there doesn't seem to be any more speakers on the dash, but there are in the doors... i side with you with the speaker... probably a tweeter. But there are tweeters on the mirrors pod... hmmmm

Guys, this has to be a V6 car.

The speedo clearly will work in kph or mph, as on a C5 (since there is no inner ring of numbers in the other units). Select kph and the needle is calibrated for kph; select mph, you get mph. The numbers on the dial are the same; the needle's movement is what changes.

As for torque, I'd put the V6 in the 270+ range (maybe 280). Probably direct injected. See the Chevy Traverse and Caddy CTS for the approximate numbers. No way the V6 is going to make over 300 lbft.

I also believe this is a V6 car based on the appearance of the car itself, the relatively narrow tires, and the 6900 rpm redline ( ). The V8 will be a bit lower, as mentioned above.

What does the speedo go up to? If it follows the 20kmh increments after 100, 160kmh isn't very much.

Based on what the other guys say, that means if it's in mph that would go to 160mph. Just means us Canucks peg our speedo's faster than you guys.

Next spring I either take my dream trip to Egypt or buy a new car. Looks like the pyramids will have to wait.
