Default Laguna Blue C7 @ Carlisle

There was a Laguna Blue C7 on display opposite the GM engineers tent, and it was driven by a GM Team member named Ben (Ruhala, I think). The interior was gray and what I'm trying to find out is whether it was a 2LT or 3LT car. Ben's wife said it was a 2LT but the interior photos more resemble a 3LT car. Were any other people in the car and can you confirm whether it was a 2LT or 3LT..??

Here's another...



I personally think the 2LT would look better. The phantom stretch of light grey wrapping around the dash looks like a kluge (JMO)... I would also be concerned about the light colored carpets...also Just My Opinion Regardless, good luck!

Looks like the same Laguna Blue coupe that was at the museum bash in April. It's the exact car that made me fall in love with the C7.

Looks like 2 Lt. I believe the 1Ltn is all black And 3Lt has the full dash Gray, I think a blsack floor covering would be better than gray, Thounmynb wifes uick has a light grayn floor and it hasn't been hard to keep clean.

It's a 3LT. 2LT has no gray on the dash but does have a gray center console; 1LT has gray seats but no other gray anywhere. All three gray trim levels have gray carpets.

I was "told" before Carlisle when I was at the dealer (this was not a low allocation dealer by the way), that the exact opposite was true, ALL trim levels came with "black" carpets, which is why I was so shocked when I saw the car at Carlisle. In my 2009 C6 with the beige/cashmere interior, I have matching carpets and have no problems keeping them clean, and it is my DD and I've logged over 56,000 miles on it, so it is no garage queen, and I want[/U][/B] my carpets to match my seats, and I wish both the C6 & C7 would have rear compartments matching as well, like my 2003 does (that is gray also).

Clearly the dealer was misinformed.

2LT grey with CF & black dash with black stinger stripe would IMO look real nice

I would probably go with the stock Z51 silver wheels and black calipers with the grey interior........ especially since I live in a warm climate

While I had a chance to do it, I backed off the 3LT for 2LT and added back the Navi. Reason was the passenger grab bar. Take a look at the grey one in these photos and imagine what it's going to look like after a couple of years of passengers sweaty palms wrapped around it. Sure you can clean it but as much as you may need to in order to get the body oils combined with sweat and some plane dirt, overtime I'm pretty sure the cleaning will take some of the dye color from the natural leather.

Mine is TR w/2LT in Kalahari.

So the 2lt will not have a color matched grab bar ?
