... oh buy clothes too ...
Ya ... it's a good plan to secure food, clothing and shelter before the buying the toys.
Perhaps sadly only considered as old-school thinking by youth these days.
After all it's perhaps wise old school thinking now that ...
"He who owns the most toys, only has the largest Estate Yard/Garage Sale" ...
... any who ... leather interiors ... to each their own ...
Vehicles I buy have either interior "included in the price" - so it doesn't matter

But in the C8 it's the Mulan leather that's smooth and the Napa leather is the one with more texture.
Anyhow, to me its essentially the same and not worth the extra cost for marketing words.

If I die a dollar in debt, I win...... oh buy clothes too ...

hmmm...thinking you don't have children...They might disagree...
Hi, I've been reading through this thread and the guys that have the 2LT justify the savings and say the 3LT isn't worth it.
They are wrong, as even the steering wheel airbag is done in Napa leather instead of plastic with the 3LT. I have sat in/driven
the 2LT and it's fine, but the 3LT is much nicer softer leather and looks better as well with the leather wrapped lower doors, suede wrapper upper interior trim as well as nicer leather for the console, arm rest, door skins and nicer looking dash.
I have read guys on other forums regret not getting the 3LT because when they ordered the car, they had nothing to compare it to but once they saw and felt the 3LT they wished they had gone for it. To me a car like this I only get the best and for just $3750 difference if your getting the GT2 seats anyway, it's an easy decision.
Nah... bro you got it all wrong. First of all we're not talking about the suede you can get with the 3LT, or the extra stitching you can get with the 3LT. What we're talking about is the fake terms "Napa" leather and "Mulan" leather. Like you, I've been in both and chose 2LT, not because I can't afford the upgrade to 3LT but because I'm not giving away my money to GM for something that really just doesn't make a difference. Same thing why I didn't get Z51. Not cause I couldn't afford it, but because I'm not giving GM my money for something that makes no difference for me. I drive on the street and my non-Z51 2LT vert takes 2.6 seconds to reach 100 km/h.
If you feel the grainy leather is worth the extra 4K over a smoother leather go for it, if you think its all smoke and mirrors, then the money is better sitting in your jeans than giving it away to GM for nothing.

I never justified 2LT for cost savings. I bought the 2LT, mainly because I knew I wanted the extras over 1LT. Thought about the 3LT but didn’t. Now I’m glad I didn’t purely because I would have got the all natural package, and since hearing about the reflections in the windshield, I know that would drive me crazy! But that’s just me, and others have no problem with it. So get whatever you want/can afford. You will love the car! That much is for certain!
No, we have our opinion on value. As do you. There is no wrong or right. Just opinion.
If I had the cash, I would go for the 3LT just so I could feel the Napa leather air bag face shot me when I plaster myself into a tree. Yah yah I know, this post will be deleted...
I agree to an extent. But when you can't find a real definition to "Napa Leather vs Mulan Leather" and the only google searches that come up are apparently from Corvette forums and sites, that's telling you a lot. It's the justification one seeks when one spends money for something that really is nonexistent.
......and when they get a guy like Ricardo Montalban to shill it, it makes it even that much better!
I agree, pretty much exactly what I meant. The value one places on things is subjective to their position in life.
