Sounds like your giving up nav, chrome wheels and mag ride in the 10. Did I read it right???

If so, no deal

NAV...Many to choose from out here that probably work 10 times better then the GM unit,all for 100 bucks give or take.Chrome wheels out here,800-2000 depending.I might do it if the 10 were a GS,but for a regular Vert with more miles then mine,nah,no way.

I started looking myself at 2011s, and still not sure what I'm going to do. My 2007 is a 3LT with every option I would want again, so I'm thinking I would only get a 2011 if it had at least a 3LT, but really a 4LT. I would want to at least feel like I'm driving a different car. And while I don't really use the NAV in my car (I know where I live and I know where I work), it would be strange to suddenly not have it, so I would get it again even though deep down I know its a waste of my money.

Its always nice to have a new car, but on the other hand, any issues with yours? Mine has been really good and I'll admit a new car sometimes makes me worried that I'd get unlucky and get a lemon. When you have a car that is fairly new, and its running good without any issues, I always worry about buying something that will have issues, even if it is a newer car.
