Hey everyone, first post- I'm picking up my new 1LT either this coming Monday or Tuesday. I'm looking forward to becoming part of the community.

My new Mali is Imperial Blue / Titanium interior- probably a pretty common combo, nothing too extravagant. I was really torn between the titanium and cocoa/cashmere... but I figured, long term, I'd probably enjoy the titanium more. I'll make sure to get back on here and post some photos as soon as I pick her up.

Some specs on the car...
2010 1LT
Imperial Blue / Titanium
2.4L / 6speed Auto
Options:
Power convenience package... power seats, remote start, blue tooth
Premium mat package... front & rear mats, trunk mat
Compact spare... no way I'm trusting my life to a can of foam sealant and electric bike pump ;)

Really wanted the sun roof, would've killed for a fog-light option...

Decided against the body-side molding / door protectors... a little tacky in my opinion.

Probably won't do much to her, maybe upgrade to some nicer wheels. I mean, hubcaps... Really?

Perhaps put some age appropriate tint on the windows, maybe look into hooking up some OEM fog lights; I saw some people on the boards have done this, I look forward to checking for some write-ups.

A little history on me;
currently driving a 2003 SAAB 93 2.0T... I'm sure going to miss that extra torque, but I mostly just cruise to work and back, with some leisure driving on the weekends, I'm not looking to get anywhere fast... but definitely stylishly- which I think all of you guys can agree with.

Before the SAAB, I was driving an 88 Camaro sport coupe 305 V8... pretty cool car, not many built- look it up if you're interested. Mine was one of only 1,000 built.

Before that, I was driving an 83 Monte Carlo 305 V8.

I'm glad to be back under the Chevy banner; looking forward to getting to know you all.

Thanks ElC

I love the 2LT! How long have you had it? I read some review online... maybe this site? anyway, the interior didn't seem to live up to the wear and tear, starts showing sags on the leg bolsters. Have you experienced this? Just curious if it's true or not

The car I test drove was identical to my 1LT, only it was a 2LT. I wish I could've sprung for the extra cost of the 2LT, I would've got it in an instant!

See you around,
-E
