Nav is ok if you plan on Leasing but if you buy it the software/hardware is crap after 3 years. The recaros look simular to the same seats that are going to be in the GXP G8. So if they can put sporty seats in a 35-38K car they shouldn't cost a forture as an option. Same goes for the wheels they look like direct Holden GTS wheels to me. Anyone else think so. I mean it makes sense to cut cost but it also hurts to know that your halo car is built with spare parts.

I'm glad the sunroof will be optional.
Finding one without will be hard though. Probably a special order.

As far as the Nav. Don't need it. I used my Onstar turn by turn for the first time last month. Not only do you get a voice command but the radio display shows how many yards to the turn and the angle of the turn also.

I have one issue with the Vs styling. The polished metal trim around the windows really sticks out and makes the car look long in the greenhouse.
Would like to see a shadow chrome or black powdercoated option.

Again, in the quest to keep the msrp low I will likely opt not to get them if they are too expensive, just seems like a "sport seat" like the recaros should be standard with this type of car.

Well for me if I am going to use this car for everyday commuting (which I will be doing) the seats have to be comfortable. If the recaro surrenders comfort for grip then you have to consider that if you will be driving the car everyday. A real aggresive side bloster can be annoying when performing normal driving and everyday activities.

I agree, but then I think it should be something you can "uncheck"....a standard feature you can optionally choose not to get. I consider that type of seat the correct tool for driving this beast and I think it should be part of the package. Just my .02

Well congratulations on that.

But I think ALL Cadillacs should come standard with a GPS Navigation system screen. To me it's not quite a full Cadillac if it doesn't have the Nav screen.
