Thanks all for your helpful responses!
@Molloni - Thanks, you really made it simple for me to understand! Yes, that makes sense. I haven't seen an SS with the white badge yet, only red ones, so they must all have the RS option. I'm going to look for pics tonight in the forums. Right now all I've seen are SS's with the RS, and "plain Jane" LTs at Hertz. I do like the idea of white SS badges with IOM.
Your info is really helpful and what I needed from the dealer, which as you can see I didn't get. But maybe I didn't ask the right questions.
@rjcamaro, Nice RJT! I've been going back and forth myself on hardtop vs. vert. Both beautiful cars, makes it so hard to decide! Will check out Quirk on the drive back from Canada to Nashua,
I'm in Quebec but not near Oshawa, it would be neat to see where the plant is!
@Tim, yes HIDs are a must if I can find the extra $1,300 for the RS! Increased cost for vert vs. hardtop may mean no RS - will see how finances go.
Have a great week!
