Congrats and nice choice of colors.

However do bear in mind the RS wheels, should you trade, are PAINTED. The reason the polished wheels are more is simply because they aren't painted like the stock or RS wheels.

IMHO painted wheels = no. Powdercoated, chromed, polished, brushed, natural, all ok by me, but paint chips and cracks and cleaning brake dust off it you might as well take sandpaper to it for as long as it will last like that.

As for hidden features. Um, dont forget to pair your phone for bluetooth. Don't forget to store some names/numbers to hands free dial (press the talk button on the wheel and say store, then follow the prompts). Um, if you want the nav to not tell you upcoming turns say MUTE DIRECTIONS when you go to setup a route (I think you can do it at any point by pressing the blue button and saying that, not sure though, only used it once so far, less than a month into owning mine lol).

Nothing else comes to mind right away.

Are there other voices besides the male voice to
switch to?

I guess my only other concern is that I paid too much... Are most people still paying MSRP? I wasn't in a good position to deal.

I think most people now are paying a little less than MSRP. I paid around $2860 under (on a 2LT/RS) after $750 in miscellaneous fees, but that included $860 GM card earnings, and a $1,000 rebate for owning a pontiac.

I'm working on the auto-close sunroof. fingers shmingers, i want mine to auto-close:

If your phone supports voice dialing, you can actually voice dial through your car (i.e., you don't have to store the number in the car's memory, but can use the contacts already stored in your phone).
To do this:
1) pair your phone with the bluetooth in your car
2) press the phone button one the steering wheel
3) say "bluetooth"
4) say "voice"
5) my phone then does it's usual "say a command" through the car speakers
6) then just say "call home" (or whatever contact you want to call

If your phone supports voice dialing through bluetooth, it works great. My phone is almost 3 years old (Motorola Razr v3m) and it works fine on that.
