Default 3LT vs. 4LT

Anyone regret getting the 3LT vs. 4LT? I'm putting in my final order and am still on the fence. More because I love th black/cashmere color combo with the black floor.

I have a 3LT and have zero regrets about it.

The only difference is a leather interior. If having a snappy interior is important to you, go for the 4LT as it would cost you as much or more to improve the interior yourself.

If not, the 3LT has everything the 4LT has. Save the money for something else.

Don't have 4LT, don't miss it.

Mine is a Vert and I specifically wanted all titanium seats because any black is too hot to sit on in shorts. My top is down all summer.

I have both, an 07 3LT with Cashmere/Ebony and a 2010 4LT with Sienna/Ebony.

If the 4LT was available in 07 I probably would have got it then too.
I love the dash and door panels in the 4LT, however you still need to replace the shifter and e-brake boot since they still insist on installing that cheap PLEATHER from the factory.

I also like that the 4LT carpeting is Ebony. My 3LT has Cashmere carpet.

Go for the 4LT, you won't regret it.

I had the 3LT on my 2006, and my current 2008 coupes, decided to go all out on my 2010 GS vert and order the 4LT dark titanium/ebony option. If possible, see a 4LT interior in person as a comparison to the 3LT before you make the decision.

Yeah, that carpet is was pushing me the most. Thing is if I go with the 4LT I can now get the dark gray with ebony which will match my gray wheels. I love the tan so here I go again. I saw a ZR1 in yellow (mine is going to be yellow) and the tan was nice. The dark gray is nice as well. What ya think?

I am very happy with the 3LT and do not personally care for the dash area with my interior combo, however with yours I say go for it as it is now or never

You can get better quality from DSVETTES and probably for less then the 4LT cost.

Also it is not even the entire dash....just some leather added...same w/ the doors right ?

The 4LT is better than the 3LT, but for around $4000, I would expect more from GM. The damn boots are not even real leather....

With Yellow I think the dark titanium/ebony will look best.

I'm of the school that the Ebony/cashmere would look best. The ebony/dark gray is somewhat different from the all black, but not that much. Almost everybody has black in yellow, and I've seen the two-tone cashmere in the yellow and it looks absolutely terrific plus you don't see it every time you turn around.

I went 4LT. Zero regrets. A simple thing like leather on the dash and the doors gives the car a more upscale feel.

i have the 1SB (which is 3LT since 06). Just fine for me, if the 4Lt was available in 05 I would have loved to have it.
