no not v6's sunroofs werent on many if they were, and were probably custom. Sunroof to me just turns it into a sports car and ruins the muscle car theme. Muscle cars and sports cars are two different things to me.

Right...And if anybody thinks that a V6 doesn't belong in a muscle is sick in their damn mind. At first I thought I would just have a nice car with the soft engine. WRONG!!!!! This baby is fast as hell and powerful for a V6. I did 110mph on the highway and it was still pulling.

No way, roof looks better without the sunroof IMO.

Saw two today...with and without sunroofs. They are both fantastic looking machines. I am getting the sunroof in mine, but I also love the reverse mohawk you get without the sunroof. I didn't realize you can see it on the inside as well. VERY neat!

I called around to all of the dealers within 250 miles of where I live, hit pay dirt at a dealer 140 miles away. I got the exact car I wanted SIM 2LT RS without having to wait for the car to be made. The dealership believe it or not had the vehicle on the lot for over a week on the showroom floor and nobody bought it. I asked the Sales Manager to hold the car overnight and I would arrive in the morning to purchase the car. I arrived and the car was sitting on the showroom floor with only 3 miles on it, They took it out and let me Test Drive it before any paperwork was done on it. Finally after 6 hours at the Dealership I was able to drive home with it. It was a beautiful drive home that day, as I was in no hurry to get there. The funny part of this situation was that I was going to goto a closer dealer the next day to place my order for the car.

congrats....but....not sure why you decided to settle for something you could've had YOUR way....its like craving a cheeseburger and settling for chicken nuggets....

AND you ended up getting a V6 which my dealer said GM is not selling as many of bc everyone wants the V8...the wait time as of 1 week ago is about 6weeks.....and v8's 5months!

but if your happy then congrats

On the first call I made I found a dealer with a SIM 2LT RS Auto Black Leather interior (w/o sunroof :()..I said what the hell I can live without a sunroof even though I have never had one...And also SIM was my second choice anyhow....So while talking to the dealer further he said the car was on the showroom with only 8 miles on it...I said ok and then proceeded to asked him the million dollar question, "Is there a dealer Mark-Up on that car?" And then came out the magic words, "No, we are not selling this car over MSRP"...I told him to put the SOLD sign on that car and I will be there shortly...I left work immediately and rest was history.

REVIEW:

Pros: For a V6, that car is fast as hell. If you step on it off a ramp that thing takes off. The components in the car are somewhat user friendly. The handling is amazing. The sound system is vicious and the Boston speakers are very loud with nice bass. The ambient lighting on the doors is tight but I thought it was going to be on the dashboard too. Oh well...The seat are comfortable and hugs your body like a sports car should. The HID lights are very bright and the Halos are the icing on the cake. The gas milage is amazing. As fast as I was driving last night that needle should be at least under 3/4 of the tank. But the needle is barely off of Full.

Cons: The roof and all the windows are very low. The backseat is a joke just like the back seat of the Lexus SC and the Drop-top Jag. There is no on/off switch for the foglights (they are your daytime running lights). The rear window is smalls so be careful backing up. Especially in parking garages. The brake dust can become a headache because I have alot of it already. The tires on the RS Package are in fact summer tires, so now I'll have to pay $200+ per tire in the Fall to get some Toyo AS tires. Lastly, be prepared to be followed by the police. They followed me all morning on my way to work. One held up traffic to talk to me. Crazy I know.

Congrats! Looks like the stars were all aligned for you that day! Thanks for the Pros/Cons, too. Very helpful for those of us in-waiting . . . BTW, how's she sound?

I'd do something like this instead of waiting for my order but dammit, I want a manual transmission on my 1LT/RS. Every dealer that I've spoken with said no way in hell would they order a manual 6-sp for the lot, it would always be special order. Guess I just wait for now.

I've noticed too that there are only automatics and also there have only been V6's - both of which are the opposite of what I want.

Since this has turned into a sunroof thread

I am surprised by all of the so called tall people complaining that the sunroof option is so undesireable. I am over 6'2" and 200lbs and have no problem with the interior of the car. Yes, the reverse mohawk is awesome, and there is slightly more head room (emphasis on slightly). I can't imagine that it is really that big of a deal for anyone 6' 2" or under that isn't wearing a helmet. :troll:

"The brake dust can become a headache because I have alot of it already. The tires on the RS Package are in fact summer tires, so now I'll have to pay $200+ per tire in the Fall to get some Toyo AS tires"

do you really need "winter tires" for the rs package?
