Official Poll To Have Leather Added As An Option!*

Ok so I ordered the 2SS/RS and I was looking over what I get, well some of that stuff I am in no need of. I like how the boston acoustics is an option...

I want to switch to a 1SS but I WANT leather with that SS stitched in it!!

So like the other polls we have going, please voice up if you would like the 1SS to have the option of adding that leather!

I think it'd be nice to have it as an option. I don't really like all these packages that many companies offer because I don't always want everything in that package. Regardless, I couldn't see how this would hurt, although, I'm not sure of it's practicality. I voted "Yes" though

my dealer said they have a company that will come to the dealership and reupholster the intereior to leather for $1200 if i got the cloth (just a tip if this doens't go where u want it to)

I was really sad when I learned I couldn't get leather and the ambient lighting package on the 1SS, especially after I saw the price tag on the 2SS and knew there was no way in hell I could afford it. I agree 100% it should be optional on the 1SS. I think the interior package and the connectivity package should have been seperated instead of lumped together with a $4k pricetag (Over the 1SS). I bet there are a ton of people out there like me that want leather and the lighting package, but are not at all interetested in anythng else that comes with the 2SS. GM is making me choose between V8 rumble and a nice interior......and that is Maybe I'll just go buy a G8 GT where I can get both without paying the extra $$$$$.

Good news is I don't plan on buying until about this time next year, so hopefully Scott and some of the others will read this thread and make it happen by then.

I voted YES because I think GM really dropped the ball on some of the options (No Blue SS, No HUD, etc.) so I feel for you guys!

I would like to see leather as an option on 1SS WITHOUT the heated seats. I can do without the remote start as well. I live in the South, that stuff is extra weight and expense for things I WILL VIRTUALLY NEVER USE.

I can afford the 2SS, but what I'd really like is a 1SS with leather, 4pack gauges (I can add), 9spkr system. I can live without the rest of the 2SS stuff--No heated seats, heated mirrors, no remote start, no 'connectivity tooth pkg', etc.

I think it'd be great to have those things as an option so I voted yes.

I'm always up for choices.


Also, I think you should change the poll answers. Instead of "No, I don't care for it." It should be "No, I don't care for it and I don't want anyone to have choices."

If the case weren't for something reasonable like leather, but for something ridiculous like 34inch rims, I'd still vote yes. It's an option. Some people will want it. You don't have to get it.

*From the pricing thread*

I really believe the leather option should be a stand-alone option and not part of the 2LT or 2SS. It's like a basic right to be able to add leather individually (yes, it comes with the ambient lighting) without having to upgrade to every bell and whistle.

I believe that if you get a 1SS, you should be allowed the option of the leather without the ambient lighting. Just a thought. I know that if the cost gets up there, I'd get a 1SS w/ leather.

But, I"m hoping for a 2SS/RS w/ LOTS of goodies!

I think they need to let us be able to delete leather from 2SS. I personaly like cloth, but like some of the other options in 2SS that is not available in the 1SS. Not really sure what to do at this point.

I'm voting YES.. I would like leather in the 1ss. I have no use for all that usb, bluetooth crap. I would also like to see the Midnight Silver wheels as an option without having to buy the RS package. I love the wheels, but have no desire for expensive lights.

What is in the Connectivity Package?

Is it just the Bluetooth?

Actually its NOT too late. The car doesn't go into production until Feb. 16th therefore the ACTUAL orders are not in and the car isn't being made to your specs yet...We are able to change our orders up until probably 2-3 weeks before feb 16th...

Thats why we have these color polls for the blues, leather polls for the 1SS and polished rim poll for the RS package.

They are going to be relayed over to GM and we are hoping they respond and give us what we want. So vote yes, and we have a BETTER chance of getting this option approved!

I wish too that the 1SS would have an option for leather. In fact, It should it be a base v6 and a base v8 and then have all those other things as options priced reasonable but since I think on tracking the car then cloth is better on the corners and twisties...better grip on the butt-o-meter so I got the 1SS w RS package instead.

People... the camaro team had to FIGHT to get cloth as possible on the SS.. for that alone I am glad (dont want leather, do want V8). In general people who want leather also want the convience and gadgets that come with it.. so its bundled in the 2SS.

If you want leather just live with the fact that you are getting the whole package and step up. Otherwise it would have only been 1 trim at the SS level and it would have had everything ANYWAY.
