Thanks! What's your thoughts on the cloth? I've got a 1SS on order but can't decide if I want to make the jump to the 2SS. The other features are nice but the only thing I really want is the leather but if the cloth is solid, I might stick with the 1SS.

Bluetooth seems to work fine. I was able to arrange the partnership with my iphone very quickly. My only other bluetooth car experience was a Cadillac STS and this seemed to be on par or better than that as far as use. Have made only a few calls without concern. But not being on the other end of the call or having an A - B with bluetooth and without, it's tough to say if it would meet your needs. While in the car, though from our end we could hear the person we called just fine at highway speeds.

The black/black cloth interior is fine. I recommend the leather wrapped wheel and shifter, though. But I haven't driven a leather interior car so I can't A - B for you. But the cloth seats are NOT lacking in comfort at all. Power driver seat provides plenty of adjustment. I think it looks good.

However, with that said, I haven't driven a car in the desert at night (really dark out) at the posted 75 MPH Speed limit ; ) with the optional lamps to be able to tell you if they are better or how much better. Sorry, but all I can say is I never had a concern with the base lamps.

Thanks for the info #3. Since there are no deserts in No Indiana we will be fine. LOL Big worry here is way too many deer!
I have always been very happy with my '06 Monte Carlo but, both high and low burned on high a big improvement from my '00 Monte when only one burned at a time.

Thanks PS Bulb number should be in the manual in glove box.

New question for you #3. Over on Heather's site, there is a picture of an air pump, guess it's in the trunk. I ask there but perhaps you know as well. Is this a 12V pump and not goop and canned air like originally planned??? Would sure be nicer and is there hose long enough to reach all tires or do you take it out and plug it into an interior power outlet?????
I have not een this excited about a new car in years!!!!!!

i was wondering the same thing. My dad had looked at a bonneville like 10ish years ago and it had an air pump in it which i had a cord long enough that it could reach all of the tiresand I would be shocked if they had a pump in there that couldnt reach all of the tires. Truthfully i would much rather have that than a canned air with goop in it, I carry one around with me at all times anyway

I wish you were still in Palm Springs! I live near where you took those pics.

UCF w00t · 12-27-2008, 06:06 PM

Any chance you could post some pics of the black/black interior? I don't think we've seen any pics of that and I'd especially like to see it since that's what I have on order.

Thanks!!!

Number 3 · 12-27-2008, 06:09 PM

I am still in Palm Springs....at least for tonight. Heading back east tomorrow, Sunday morning.

Number 3 · 12-27-2008, 07:56 PM

Ok, here are some interior shots of the black 1LT Cloth with Leather Wheel and Shifter. Sorry, it may not be the cleanest for photos.

Max Power · 12-27-2008, 08:07 PM

Where at?????? I would love to see the car out of its cage!

Number 3 · 12-27-2008, 08:10 PM

Max Power, I'm up in Desert Hot Springs. About 10 miles from I-10.

WCoolBreeze · 12-27-2008, 08:44 PM

Thank You so Very Much Number 3. With what I see in the last set of pictures you have posted I am going to leave my order as is and I am very happy with the way the sunroof cover looks (nearly the same as my Magnum R/T). Thanks Again.

Thanks a ton #3. Your updates along with Heather's had me convinced that saving money by not ordering the RS package would be great, but then my wife loved the look of the RS package, so I guess it is still a tossup. I am convinced the cloth is definitely the way to go, and you almost have me going for the V6 (but I know I'll kick myself if I don't go for the SS). I'm certain this is the car for me and I'm doing everything I can to get it as soon as possible. Student loans and lousy trade in values are killing me.
