Default Lame-O 2011 Premium Vs. 2013 Deluxe Thread

I've got a line on a couple possible GT's to trade up to. One is a 2011 Grabber in premium. The other is a '13 GHIG in deluxe with the interior upgrade option (Silver on dash/steering wheel, still cloth seats...just like my 06)

The '13 has lower miles and is obviously a few thousand more. I love both colors. The '13 by far has the better *** and possibly the better front end. I like that the '11 has Sync and the leather gives it a slight bump.

I *might* be buying one of these cars as soon as Tuesday. I haven't seen either in person yet, so that could change things.

Based on options and a few thousand dollars price difference, what do you guys think? Is the premium option set and price drop enough to overcome those dead sexy tail lights?

Does the grabber come with HID's?

I think it mostly comes down to which color you prefer.

No mention of HIDs in the ad.

Maybe I'm going out of my mind, but I thought Ford stopped calling them Deluxe years ago?

Hell, I don't know. The equivalent of the 05-09 deluxes...just the base, bottom of the barrel GT. After looking at the window stickers, I don't think they call it an interior upgrade package anymore either.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. I just thought I was dumb or something.

Based on the title of the thread, your mind was made up before you started typing.
