the red dash reflected sunlight in the drivers eyes...a safety factor...
REDSKY said:This may or may not be a stupid post but I'm getting the RED/BLACK LEATHER package but I noticed something is wrong about the two tone package...
In all the ADS as well as Demo models seen at shows the STEERING WHEEL and the FRONT DASH is two toned in either the RED or TAN leather...
Am I wrong to say that all production SKYS that many of you are driving today do not have RED or TAN on thier STEERING WHEEL or FRONT DASH?
And if they are only black WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THIS?
WHY didn't they go ahead and do the TWO TONE PACKAGE like all the press pics and demos had been done?
I'm confused because without the wheel and front dash in two tone I really feel it's missing something!
Whats going on here?![]()
They never ever showed a Tan dash or steering wheel, it was just the red ones, the red dash was on one of the first pre production Show cars that they used for the photos in the first ads and brochures.REDSKY said:This may or may not be a stupid post but I'm getting the RED/BLACK LEATHER package but I noticed something is wrong about the two tone package...

that could also have something to do with the angle of the windshield.....Way2Fast said:It was only a cost cutting measure for GM. I have a Nissan with tan interior...everything, dash and wheel included is tan...no reflection problem. The wheel does seem to show dirt easily and has to be constantly cleaned though.
have you not noticed the reflections in the windshield from the piano black? Like I said in the previous post, you also have to consider the angle the winshield is to determine if the reflections will be a problem...skyfan said:I think that the red glare is a bunch of bull. I had a BMW Z3 with a red dash and there was no glare. Since the demand was great, I think it was more cost effective for GM to just have an assembly line with all black dash boards. I got one of the early Sky's (#11 delivered to a consumer in the US) with a tan interior and was very dissapointed that it did not have the two toned steering wheel. GM should follow it's advertisments or at least advise the consumer. Anyway, I love the car just the way it is.
Communication maybe one point, for my person I think I don't beleave anything of that pre-informations until the first cars arive in europe.Lil GTO said:Could it just be the marketing and manufacturing folks did not communicate well enough?
