Which is exactly why I said I'd have a red engine cover

So RS gets different tail lights? Where does it say that? What is different from the "regular" LS/LT tails?
Cool that the SS badge turns red when you get the RS package with it...Im really diggin that red badge.
It might blend in with my Victory Red car though

...I may have missed it in this thread, ...however a couple other RS and SS features...

RS:
- The roof panel strips are BODY COLOR for RS, ...(black for non-RS)
(this is the 'trench' that runs front to rear from windshield to rear glass)

SS:
- The lower grill opening is slightly larger on the SS, ...as well as the rear fascia I believe will differentiate from V6.

That is worded sorta confusing...

The RS packages adds the chrome bezels to the taillights, as seen in the pic in the first post.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that! Good one, it isn't mentioned in the initial spec sheet. I'll bet there is a couple more that we forgot about.

The LS will be the base car with steel wheels. The LT has 18 inch aluminum wheels standard.

The one thing I find encouraging for the LS is that they say heritage style steel wheels, so I'm hoping they're actually old school steel road wheels not black steelies with covers. That would look way better.

Like someone else said, black door handles and mirrors wouldn't surprise me on the LS and it will likely have base vs. "sport" cloth in the interior.

Anyone know if they're offering leather in the LT, or only the SS?

It was stated in the online chat at gmnext.com that if you get at RS/SS the SS stitching on the seats will go from red to silver in color

Let's not get started on the wrong path with naming this car... say it with me... SS/RS, SS/RS, SS/RS....

Wouldn't it be the otherway around? Red to match the red SS badges?

For the record, I have a document that calls them out as RS SS and RS LT, etc.

You would expect GM to screw things up, wouldn't you?

it appears too many people are reading this wrong: if you get just an ss, the badge is black or white depending on exterior color

if you get an ss/rs then the ss badge is red, the rs badge is also red

just thought i would clear that up for everyone

Fitz seems to have suggested it will be silver, which I believe goes along with the few photos we've seen of an "SS".

I was talking with Scott last night and I thought for sure he said black or white, but of Fitz says silver, could very well be. I updated my first post and also gave a summary. Color coded, too!
