I'm so happy with the upgrade. Don't get me wrong, I loved my 2011 2LT but the lack of BT tech, backup camera, touch screen, and display of remaining fuel and MPH at the same time really always irked me. But now I have it all with a black 2015 LTZ with RS package. Once I get the bowties re-blacked out I will post pics if anyone is interested

And since I brought it up, the 15 front bow tie is considerably different size than the 11. Is the black aluminum billet sold for this model. I've searched for several days now with no luck.. I took the custom bow ties off my 11 if anyone is interested in buying them bc the front will not fit

Yes, always post pictures! I wish mine was a newer LTZ as well, but I'll upgrade sometime. Congrats!

Yeah a 15 is still light years improved from your 11. Only things you may miss from it is power child locks(if you have kids), center rear head rest, glove box light and those little rubber thingies in the cup holder that causes you to tear the Sonic happy hour limeade top off if you try to snatch it out with only 1 hand.

Oh its not just Sonic, that happened to me recently at McDonalds with these Styrofoam monster cups. One thing that they don't fit in cup holders, another beheading part of your cup followed by a wave of carbonated soda all over. I will never purchase or accept an upgrade to a large drink again!

Glad to know I'm not he only one to go through this, 1st world problems. It seems to be Styrofoam cups that it hates. Luckily our upsize cups here for McDonalds is plastic. Looking at the online pics, the 2nd gen manual puts both cupholders in the way of the shifter and armrest again. I guess it could be worse and the cup for the driver is up high on the passenger dash like BMW.
