2G of that is power top, which I expressly did not want. One of the reasons I bought an 06. I think the rest of the option has value - especially the HUD. Too bad you can't get each option seperately...

I've been going thru the same - looking at what I really get with various option on the VERT.
I've got my order being submitted this week. I'm thinking that for value and what's important to me, the 3LT makes sense. My car will be Vert, z51, 3LT.
When I look at the price of wheel upgrades, NAV, on-star and other pricey add-ons, just did not seem like a value. For me these add-ons were not as important as the Z51 and 3LT and the MSRP on the car did not max out.

I went with the 2LT. The only thing I wanted int he 3LT package was HUD and i was not going to pay 5 grand forit. I am sure there will be a DIY HUD like the C5's soon enough, the sport is already recessed for it in the dash.
I was not confident GM got the power top right and it looks like a mixed bag looking here. I got EXACTLY the car i wanted a 2007 VY 6 speed vert with chrome wheels for 50 k out the door almost 3 months ago. Would not have it any other way. When i go to sell in 3-5 years i guarantee the difference in price between mine and a 3lt will be closer to 500 bucks than 5000. I think there will always be a demand in the used market for a 6 Speed Yellow C6 convertible. The used market is a lot different than the new market. You are looking at a younger demographic to sell to
Unless you HAVE to have the power top get the 2lt and put the money you save into Z51 or something useful
