Possibly. If so I personally think they're in a better spot now. After owning a captiva it's much better and only the driver has access to stop the back windows when the kids start playing with them. Just my thoughts anyway, not saying anyone who disagrees is wrong.Quote:

Also I heard someone complain that they moved the lock/unlock switch to the drivers door....well there is one on the passengers door as well.
I think its because that ever since Commodore was released in 1978, the window controls have always been in the centre console. And it'll take a bit of getting used to.
I am one of those who reckon they should have stayed in the centre console. Mainly because they were more protected there from water and weather If it rained and the window was left open the new switches will get wet. Whereas in the centre they were protected from that. Plus the passenger had control of all windows as well - whereas now its only the driver.
All the switches in my car are on the drivers door ... if my wife's car (E3 GTS) they are in the centre ... trust me, it makes f*#k all difference where they are!
Long trip, two kids in the back, the missus in the front passenger seat takes care of the kids while the driver worries about the driving, missus can control the rear windows from her seat if she needs to, cant do that if they are on the drivers door. Just seems like an avoidable distraction for the driver to me.Quote:

To be completely honest I'm loving the new design and tech that has been thrown into this car, looking at the pics everyday and now seeing the SS looking so sweet has made up my mind I'm definitely getting one!
Some people may disagree with various things about it but I like it, except the remote control car aerial (bee sting will replace it quite fast).
Who is going to do long trips in a VF with kids in the back and the windows down ? Surely you would have the air-con on and the windows up.Quote:
