FYI, look closer at that rear seat ... yep, vinyl!

Makes sense - Some don't have that cash, some are lazy, and some want to say "it's a premium."

I bought a premium according to the sticker, but where the hell is my metal shifter????????? I have a base nasty shifter???? dealer do a swap on me?

steering wheel is leather and the bars are silver - no panel inserts; weird.... I have the original sticker that calls it a premium.

I will shoot a picture of the interior and get your thoughts along with the sticker.

I have a truck that has all the creature comforts. That's not why I bought this car. Wonder what the weight differences are between premium and base? 2-300lbs?

Although mine's older...When I went out looking I didn't care if I got standard or premium, I just wanted a GT. In fact I was leaning toward a standard because I thought I didn't like leather seats.

However, after I found my car, I'm REALLY glad I got the premium. I like the gauge pack, the mycolor (even though I don't change it), the wheels, and the leather seats are very nice And they're easy to clean! I like the Bright Trim package too, wasn't sure about it at first but it gives the interior some nice contrast. Plus I didn't have to pay extra for the premium package since I only paid $13,200 for my car anyway
