Default 2LT vs 3LT?

Comparing the 2LT to 3LT the only differences I see are the leather interior and nav. The nav I could definitely live without.
Any other differences or thoughts?

You can order the Nav separately with the 2LT, so 3LT is basically an expensive option to get the two tone interior.

3LT is probably only worth it if your choosing Kalahari or Brownstone. Even then it is marginally worth the $$$ at best. I personally have 3LT Kalahari and love it.

I really like the extra red leather, so the 3lt was the best choice for me. Someone who like a little red interior, can be very pleased with the 2lt option.

Kalahari and Brownstone cover the entire dash. The other colors do not. It is a matter of taste. I have Kalahari.

I just sat in a C7 for the first time a couple of days ago, and had been curious about what would be better 2LT or 3LT. I really like the red in 3LT, it's tastefully done imo. Here's some photos via my phone (does not do justice to the interior). As far as the quality feeling of the leather, it honestly did not feel better (in the area of the bolsters) than the leather in my 427.

The difference between 2LT and 3LT is 1

You can order the Nav separately with the 2LT, so 3LT is basically an expensive option to get the two tone interior.
That's exactly what I did. 2LT w/nav option

What is the one thing about the vette that has been constantly complained about. That's right, the interior. We now have a beautiful 3LT upgraded interior for very little money over the 2LT to complete the look. To me, it's a must have along with Z51,MRC,NPP.

My order is Z51,CRM, 3LT Kalahari. My dealer states that this interior color choice is Kalahari/Black where the dash and upper door panels are black. Is this accurate?

No. The dash and upper door panels are Kalahari, which gives it a beautiful rich look. Great way to go.

The dash next to the windshield (3 inches or so) and the upper horizontal door panels are black. The kick panels are also black.

No. If you order the 2LT, you can order the nav as an option for $800, but the 3LT includes the nav. It is not a stand alone option for the 3LT.

Good sum up. I didn't want too much red and the 2LT is great for me. I wish the seats were actually less red. By that I mean red inner portion of the seats but black around the edges like I've seen on some C6s.

If you look at the big picture the difference is insignificant. If you add the dost of a couple thousand for museum delivery with the tour and photo album, the Z-51, plus the plus a few thousand for the vert my car listed at about $70,000 with 3LT the difference in price with the 2LT does not add up to a significant present of the total package. Even though I have a Garmin I still ordered the 3LT with the NAV

I would love it if this was available, then it would be 3LT for sure. Factory navs while cool, are a total waste of money.
