It sounds like you want it to be a Cadillac. Lane-departure in a Chevy?? HUD? Seriously?

But really though, glad you like it.
For the price that these things can climb to those features should be included. Look at the competition's products and the fact that GM has these features in other models of similar or lower price. The LTZ should have a power passenger's seat standard with the option of ventilated seats. HIDs, HUD, lane departure and blind spot warning should be part of a visibility package and front and rear adjustable active head restraints should be standard on all GM products.

You shouldn't have to buy a Cadillac to get Mazda, Ford and GMC features. Remember, Ford is about to put Active Park Assist on the competing Escape.

The dealer was wrong about the price. $40k is impossible. If you chose every possible option, it's still under $37k MSRP.

LS starts at $22,440
LTZ starts a $29,795
I know, but I was surprised that the sales guy would trow out such a high number when the actual price was $35,440. That could've easily scared off your average Chevrolet customer.

BTW, did you see my quite POSITIVE review of the lowly G3? I give credit where it's due.
