| Base 2.8L has the same interior as us, with the exception of aluminum trim on the door pulls and steering wheel.

Am I wrong? Also the colors seem to be nicer, again though, I have only seen pictures.
The only CTS interior I have seen in person is my (formerly) all black cavern. |

Textures and surfaces are identical, except they have painted black door pulls and steering wheel instead of the nice aluminum the V's get. 2.8L cars also come with "Leatherette" seats, (which is the 21st Century term for "Pleather") and have no Suede inserts in the seat or contrasting stitching. |

I have the Thunder Gary with the Lt Gray interior.
It is a nice mix of black, Aluminum, and of course Lt gray. I have also added the black mats with the V Logo and the interior looks really nice.
Not too impressed with the all plastic interior but because of the lt gray it does look much better.
One of the things I don't like is the orange LCD panel on the climate control, would have been much better if it was like a cool blue. Just a thought....
I like the Swede inserts but you know what they say about too much of a good thing...
I agree with Jimmy, the all black interior is a bit plan and needs something.

Rob, there are ways to change the LCD color with celophane tape, the guys over on Maxima.org do it all the time. I have never tried it. They used it to turn the orange clock on top of our dash blue to match the rest of our interior lights. Dont know why manufacturers cannot color coordinate interior lighting. Must be a cost thing.

You know, I drove the V to work today, second day in a row. I admit I was a little taken aback before by all the bashing I got. But then I was looking at it this morning, and thought, why do I care what you chuckleheads think? I like it! And the more I look at it, the more I like it!
So to all of you who did like it and said so, you are sophisticated, gentlemenly and scholarly.
And for those of you who are clearly unable to appreciate beauty, I weep  |

I had a lot of fun Photoshopping that one back in the days before Mosh Girl, Flipped Civic Guy, Angry Baby, etc.

Jimmy:
Even though I'm not a huge fan of the trim kit, I'm not going to bash you for it. I've seen them in person, and they do look better than in pics- the camera makes it look yellow. Not my cup o' tea, but some people think my LED interior conversion and Aluminum door locks are rice so who cares?
If you're happy with it that's all that matters, and at least you're proud enough of your car to take the time modding it.
(However- If you put lambo doors or 22's on it, I'll fly there and kick you in the groin.) | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
