Anybody have much seat time in those new style seats yet? While I like the old style there was alot of complaining about them, just wondering if the new ones are any better?

Thanks for the pics Rick, I'm saving them as usual.

Don't really care for the way they did the 2-tone on the new seats but everything looks nice as a whole.

That car looks awesome. Im a big fan of comp gray wheels and equally of the two tone red. I did however sit in a new (2012) grand sport a week or two ago and was very disappointed in the look/feel of the seat material. It was a 1LT and I seem to remember something about the higher option packages having different seating options. It looked and felt like the "leather" in the my sons Cobalt SS. Not soft like the 2006-11 leather.

Has anyone else been in a 2012 to compare?

Need just slightly more red to tie it all together. Red hash marks will definitely pop, and I would suggest getting black wheels with a red outer rim to finish it off. Very neat color combo.

Everything looks great with these (esp love the comp greys, red calipers, and dark headlights on the GS's) but the seats look a liitle off - seems the shoulder area shold be black, not the lighter inner color. Makes them look like robots with shoulder pads on.

The new seats just look out of place, not sleek but very top heavy...Not the sport car look at all...
