Very classy! If I had the patience to keep up a black car, one like yours would be my first choice. That interior is a knock-out! Wow.

Nice. Love the two-tone interior - nice offset to the black.

Didn't know they made a 4LT in 08? I also thought 4LT came with nav?Learn something new everyday. Congrats on the new car. I hope you have a lot of free time because you will be washing a lot.

NAV is a separate option that can be added to 3LT/4LT.

I didn't care one way or another if it had it or not, the plan has always been to add an Alpine

Thanks everyone.

My center tail light was staying on, cleaned the connection and fixed that problem. Then my power inverter (used it during my long trek home) blew the fuse on my cigarette lighter, replaced the fuse and fixed that also.

A little over 24 hours into ownership, and it is by far my favorite vette to date! I love this A6!!
