Looks like the cruise control is no longer in the steering wheel. Future room for shift controls????

The cruise control has always been on a stalk on the leftside of the steering column. In fact it is the same stalk that was used in the GTO, along with the wiper controls which have a seperate stalk on the rightside of the steering column. Unless you were referring to it being different from the GP?

I don't make this stuff up; only report it. Only quoting printed changes on Dealerworld, which may simply indicate facts catching up to published items (the original info described the cruise control buttons being in the wheel) They do a lot of cut and paste without proofing - example, first info on the Solstice on Dealerworld had an auxillary fuel tank listed (info was identical to Colorado p/u at the time)

Mainly they are cleaning up errors like you said. The cruise control was always a steering wheel stalk, never the steering wheel buttons.

I am still waiting for them to correct the rear center seat belt to a 3 point vs a lap belt as currently listed.

All the photos (holden and pontiac) so far show it as a three point, and I would be surprized if they kept it as an inferior lap belt in today's age.
