It's about as blue as blue can get for me.

Damn. I see blue when the light isn’t on it, but where the light is shining I see purple.

Funnily enough, there is a house in our hood that’s as just repainted.. I swear they did the lower siding a plum purple, but michelle insists that it’s blue. Guess I’m colorblind now. Will grab a pic on my next walk for your voting.

Odd color choices to me.. pastel pink on the siding up top, an almost navy blue trim, and then what I think is a plum purple on the lower siding.

It's just a peculiar trim. Cooled seats are :neat: but lack of rear ac is just weird. :iono:
It is weird. I think the Sport trim with the V6 got them. Or you had to combine sport and "prestige"

Rear vents are a basic human right like electric windows. They should not be part of a trim package. That is ridiculous.

I mean I get it, my old Sierra was a :fancy: one with rear vents and it was nice to have the two times I had a living organism in the back seat, but I don't think no rear vents would be a deal breaker for me. There's still vents under the seats in every vehicle even if the lack of vents gives the perception of poverty.


Maybe I also don't care because I prefer driving when I go anywhere with other people.

I will have 2 huffing and puffing creatures with no ability to control temperatures themselves (Currently at 1.5 creatures)... so rear AC is kind of crucial here.... especially from August>October where we hit 100-110F on the reg

You're like 6-7 years away from them being able to control temperature. By then it'll be 140° so I get it for you.

Probably all true because I don't have rear vents.

SO what is worse, round vents up front or no vents in the rear? Yes, I'm taking this back to the Gunkata days.
