Been lurking for a couple months, reading lots of posts on cruzetalk (because for some reason I can't stop...) My Cruze: owned two years Eco 1.4 L / 6 speed manual Granite Blue Metallic ext. (like this!) Convenience pkg (power seats and parking assist) Assembled in Lordstown, OH Engine: USA...

Ok so the burning question is, how big of a difference is there now? With the 2LT (since apparently you cant get an LTZ mt) you get leather seats and stuff, is the extra cost worth it? Does anyone even have a 2012 non-eco mt yet? How much difference does the gearing, weight, shutters, tires etc...
