We're getting bent over by GM on the 2LT relative to the 1LT, it's 1.187 times the US LT2 price vs.a 1 .166 multiplier for the 1LT. :toetap:

I'd go in completely the opposite direction - a "driveability package" for the 1LT consisting of RCTA, BSM, curb camera, and the video rear mirror. The C8 will be a PITA when it comes to...
