I always get a kick out of car ads when owners say stuff like "THIS CAR IS COMPLETELY STOCK" when they later say that other stuff has been changed like the radio and a performance chip. At least these are small things that will get upgraded anyways... and what exactly are "CUSTOM SWIRL DESIGN SEATS"???? They look like the normal seats to me.

But none the less, it looks like a beautiful example of a notchback. I wish I could have a notchback... not exactly what I would call "FERRARI STYLING", but they look REALLY cool in my opinion.

Well, it is a GTA with a 350... guess ya don't have the 5k to spend eh?

I like the looks of the notchbacks because you don't see very many around.

the headrest and padding is different and there are some other little changes, but I even have the adjustable lumbar control on my seats like the fourthgens have and the middle part under the leg will adjust up as well as the whole seat will tilt back not just the back. I rahter like my seats I just wish they were a different colr as im not a real fan of a tan leather interrior
