I agree. They sell more with Nav because that's all they stock. I wanted a 6 speed GS with 2 or 3 LT. No Nav, Auto trans or chrome wheels @ $2K. I searched the entire area east of the Mississippi and found only a few. Most GS's were loaded up $66-70K. Which comes first? Consumer demand or available inventory? We will never see all items individually priced again. This is where they make their money.
It's like the government saying "no new taxes" and jacking fees up instead. New tag in Florida is now $425.00!

That's how I read it.Dave, can you please clarify the differences in seats between 2012 1LT/2LT and 2012 3LT/4LT.
If I recall correctly the way it was (in 2009 at least when I ordered):
1LT = base, not perforated leather, no lumbar/bolster adjustment, no heat, no airbags, driver power, passenger manual, no memory
2LT = sport, perforated leather, lumbar/bolster adjustment, no heat, airbags, driver and passenger power, no memory
3LT/4LT = sport, perforated leather, lumbar/bolster adjustment, heat, airbags, driver and passenger power, memory
I think 2010 was the same, and then for 2011 they made airbags standard on all and the headrest changed a bit.
Thanks, regards, Sonny

The price increase isn't much but in today's economy it could be a deal breaker. I wouldn't buy XM or OnStar if it came available as separate options and the same thing goes with the NAV. With pitiful sales figures last year and a poor economy you would think there would be no increase at all.
As far as pricing in Canada goes you do have other benefits that are factored in. Heck, with the CDN being worth more than a USD someone is making big bucks in Canada if buyers are paying the same price.

I may be mistaken, but, it looks like you get the base seats in the 2LT now and the extra 900 bucks is for the HUD and that stupid Nav.
I know the seats were upgraded, but, we'll just have to wait and see.
