I didn't settle, but I had some choices to make.
The absolutes were: Had to be a 2011, 2SS, and manual trans.
I was torn between black and white. ABM had already been ruled out (first choice) because GM discontinued it for 2011. I love both black and white, but ultimately decided white would be more conducive to my OCD about dings, scratches, etc.
I also had to make a choice re: sunroof. I wanted one. The dealership had both cars (sunroof/non-sunroof) available, and I just couldn't make the sunroof car work. I sat there and adjusted the seat as much as I could, trying different angles and positions, and there just wasn't enough headroom. So, I went with the no-sunroof car. It wasn't really an issue of money or availability; I just couldn't make it work for me. On the flip side, I like the no-sunroof roof lines better. I guess that's my consolation prize for not being able to see out the roof
