I'm trying to find out why the hell it will cost $1200 for headlights and tailights. The RS is too much for the SS.

I totally agree. Maybe they priced in the incentives they will need to move the V8 cars after the initial sales peak.

Usually HID is a $500-$700 option by itself. Plus you get 20" wheels and a bunch of other stuff. It is actually less than I was thinking.

Is this true!?!

I don't believe it. There is no way you can't get leather seats in a $30k+ car in 2010. No way.

Someone please explain.....

You can't get them in the 1SS, you have to step up to 2SS if you want leather. Starts at $34,180.

20" wheels are standard on the SS. The RS package on the SS includes the HIDs, darker tails, and body colored roof ditch moldings.

In that case, it seems like a lot.

Not sure why GM did it this way but you can get leather on the 2LT V6 starting at $27,330 but to get leather on a V8 you'll need to check the 2SS box and it's $34,180 sticker. I think they missed the boat on this one.

Leather isnt available on the 1st version of the V8 Dodge Challenger either. Its something that all car makers are doing now. You figure $31k for the 1SS, $1200 for leather. It kind of puts you at a position where you might as well go to 2SS anyway. I mean in my case Leather & Audio System is a must. Those options could probably cost me $2,000. $31k + 2k = might as well spend the extra $1k and get everything the 2SS offers.

Don't go misleading people by saying they're not available. They're just part of the next package up.

Leather seats ARE available on the 2010 Camaro SS.

Tons of people here clamored for months about wanting a "stripper" SS. Now, there's an SS package without leather, and without a handful of other items, and people are bitching? This is what we asked for.

I, for one, am all about the 2SS + RS. It's pretty much exactly what I was asking for (as long as they change their minds and make it in blue!).

It looks like it's only leather on the front seats too. I also think the RS package is overpriced but will still get it cause I think it looks way better with HID and the darker taillights.

Well not if you consider the drivetrain differences. The 1SS has the LS3/TR6060. Which isn't found in the G8 GT you are comparing it to. The G8 GXP does but it is almost 40k? I mean I would happily pay 2k more for an all aluminum motor that makes 60hp more as well as a transmission that I can shift my own gears.

The LS3 has excellent potential, reaching LS7 power levels with cam/bolt ons.
I don't think GM is cheating us on this one. Their profit percentage can't be very high on this car considering the content.
