Looking at the info posted so far these are your options:


In order to get ambient lighting you must purchase the leather interior package.
In order to get HIDS/Halos you most get the RS package.

But what about those people who want HIDS but not the spoiler or 20 inch rims or want the lighting but not the leather. Why not offer the buyer the option to get what they want without buying needless crap.

I don't want oem 20inch rims because I plan on getting 3 piece forged wheels. I don't want leather because it gets real hot in the sun and it does not hold up to abuse like cloth. now I'm stuck paying x amount of money for stuff I don't want.

I know many will say get aftermarket hids/projectors. but honestly have you guys used aftermarket projectors? they suck and I really did not want to buy a new car just so I can retro fit appearance parts unto it.

Anyone else agree..
I posted this on another thread, but probably shouldve posted it here....my thoughts exactly Saint....

1) the HUD is not available until 12/2009. This one makes absolutely ZERO sense to me...this is not new technology.

2) I am a little disappointed that you have to purchase SS/RS for lighting, but hey...who knows maybe it wont be as expensive as we are worried for....

3) The ambient lighting is apparently offered on the LEATHER package only. This is a little disappointing as I planned for cloth and live in Florida with the heat.

Now don't get me wrong, I assumed you would pay a tad extra for a cool feature or two...but I see Saints argument...now we are buying an EXTERIOR and INTERIOR upgrade for features that really arent all that much to ask? We are shown this ignition video, and now I come to find THAT interior, spoiler, lights will only be available if you purchase an upgrade and leather? oh and some of the options arent available until December of 2009?!

As a whole, yes...this IS a beautiful car...I think you guys did a FANTASTIC JOB. However, this is my dream car, I would like small toys like halos/HID/HUD, and I really dont wish to wait another 16 months to get a some small feature that has already been in circulation for quite some time.
