Long time lurker here. Been waiting since 2013 for the 2015, and now have nearly enough saved up to half the cost so my monthly payments are small.
So spent the weekend going over configurations with the wife, and she's hell bent on the Kona interior, so looks like we're going Premium vs Platinum. I do wonder
why interior options have to differ between the models.
Either way we're looking @ the The Premium ESV, raven black and kona brown interior, w/ the power retractable steps, + Entertainment system w/ the 2 overhead dsplays for bluray, and dual independent console seat BluRay players (installed @ the dealership since they're normally platinum and factory won't, however dealership will), side curtains for the back windows ( dealership).
A few questions. Is there anything else besides aesthetics, and the cooler, that I'd be missing out w/ on the platinum? Also for the birds eye view cam, I noticed the luxury that we test drove had it. However it looked as if it only was able to show a few inches from the car on either side. How is the option for everyone else?
Also are the console players independent as in you can hook other sources into them as well as sep blurays and it won't affect the rest? ( mainly for the seat rest ones )
Anything I should look out for / ask to verify @ the dealership or should know prior to sealing the deal ( besides test driving to ensure the vehicle does NOT shake/vibrate. )
This is a big step up from our GMC Acadia, and we're really looking forward to this.
Appreciate everyone's response.
