Offset with gray, yes. That beige takes the black away from Black Diamond.

Just to make sure I'm comprehending this correctly, it's a $4,850 premium for different colors, right? The exterior paint (though nice) is essentially just a better paintjob, the calipers are just painted yellow instead of silver, the interior has black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow, you know what it is) seating surfaces and a different wood trim instead of black/gray, and the wheels are "Satin Graphite" instead of silver... and performance remains exactly the same. Does that sum it up?

I still don't care for the lines of the coupe. It looks awkward - like it was an afterthought.

Why wood grain trim? Why?
It is not a horseless carriage. |

^ But the "optional features" were already part of what I named, according to the link.

Even if you're right, it sounds like you're implying that it's overpriced or something. The Recaros just by themselves are $3400, something most of the competition doesn't even offer, and that's without the custom leather. Throw a set of wheels, special paint, trim and such and $4,850 sounds about right. On top of the fact the car is an unbeatable value within the segment anyway. |

In addition to the unique paint, CTS-V Black Diamond comes standard with content that complements its look and feel. The special edition has: ***9702;Satin Graphite 19-inch wheels with yellow Brembo brake calipers. These six-piston front, four-piston back brake calipers provide exceptional stopping capabilities. ***9702;Recaro seats that feature 14 adjustable elements, French-stitched leather and microfiber suede inserts in the center sections of the cushions and seatbacks. ***9702;Midnight Sapele wood trim known for its durability and distinctive grain. I don't see anything else in either article, unless I'm trippin. Quote:

I love the performance of this car, but I just don't get a few things that kill it for me.
Hate the brakelight wing Hate the V shaped rear Hate the overly cheap looking center with a million different things to look at and all the Plasti-crome |

This keeps the screen from fully taking over the console, and makes the non-nav cars look a little less "hey, where's my nav?" down: up: |
