My 08 vert is exactly what I wanted, it took me almost 1 year to find it, then traded my 94 for it (plus some cash). Got everthing I wanted except the NPP exhaust, and I don't miss it. I wanted a 6 speed, victory red with red interior, etc. From what I was told, if you get the power top on the convertible, you get the HUD, otherwise you don't. I did not want the Nav system, so I have the port for my external devices. Do not care for the XM satellite radio, but it comes with the 6 CD changer. Have not activated XM. I like the On-Star and the in car telephone option. Also, I wanted chrome wheels rather than painted or black ones. I suggest you make a list (I did) and order exactly what you want. Opinions are great as to what others want, but you want what you want and should get it. Search the internet or CAC site for pictures of the car you want to make sure you exterior options meet your desires. Pics are worth a lot.
