paddle shifters

Is this the direction that every car is going? I read so many great reviews about the MR and the transmission but why cant i have an MR with 3 pedals (besides the fact that my pockets arent that deep.)

Suspension, wheels and interior trim I believe. Nothing major and I prefer a clutch pedal too so I got a fully loaded GSR.

Interior trim? Nothing major? That's a hell of a significant difference to me!

I like the leather recaros and the BBSs, but of course the GSR doesn't come with them. Too bad they don't make a 6speed either. I still love my GSR and would rather have 3 pedals than 2 and some paddles.

The difference between the MR and a fully loaded GSR with all options is.

1. 2 piece rotors(not sure if this helps or not)
2. Rims(lighter)
3. Body colored gills(IMO UGLY)
I'm sure there is more but not enough to matter.

For the price of an MR you can get a GSR and get enough mods to surpass the MR in every way. Also the MR's tranny can over heat if pushed too much.

I believe the leather seats cannot be option for the GSR, but i am not sure.
Also the MR has Blu-tooth(not sure of spelling) while the GSR does not.

I think you can order the BBS for the GSR. <-- This i was told by the dealer.

Of course you can. But you're going to be the proud owner of GSR wheels AND MR wheels. They'll let you order them, but it's an a la carte item. (Unless somebody knows something I don't...) I think they mean this the same way I mean "you can get an Aveo with heated seats" at my job.
