I looked into getting an '04 when I was shopping for cars several weeks ago and it had too many little niggles to considering droping the money on one, as my only car anyway. If I had the cash (and the room) to have one as a second car, that is another story.
My issues:
-No sunroof, doesn't have to be standard, but not even one as an option?
-No HID's
-No heated seats (IMO if you have leather in any place cold you need heated seats)
-Small trunk with no passthrough
The LS1 (or LS6) is a great motor, but it just wasn't enough to seal the deal) FWIW, I like(d) the styling.
