I bought my car back in October I believe, and got it with these stats:

GT
redfire
red leather
side airbags
Aluminum dash
MyColor

And of course all the other IUP stuff that is still available. How rare do you think my car is? Yesterday was the first time I saw another car with the aluminum dash in it. I'm sure people thought I was drooling in the parking lot when I was taking a look at it, but then I just walked about 50ft to my own=) I think the only options my car is missing is the upgraded alarm system and the shaker 1000.

Not rare at all, tons of them out there and being built as we speak.

I would say the percentage is higher in the GT since for awhile there, they put a hold on V6 with IUP.

I saw over a dozen of different V6's on parking lot's, and mine is the only one with IUP. Manual transmission is uncommon as well. That would put 1:12 for V6 IUP vs non IUP. holderca1 is right - the IUP hold for V6 is the main reason why most of the 2005 V6 don't have one - nobody wanted to wait for an 05 cause of the IUP. The only reason I did is because Side air Bags are a must to me.

Probably not exactly rare on the GT but remember the GTs were also hit with the IUP shortage problems back in December - January. Seems like a long time ago, doesn't it? Let's not relive that again!

V6, Manual 5 speed with IUP and ICAP (Red Leather).....I challenge you to find one on a lot in any exterior color......Oh and add side airbags, wheel locks, active anti-theft and spoiler. Supposed to be built today!

Anyone else have this combo?....In V6 of course, I know there are a couple (Many) of GTs with this combo. Redfire exterior for ours in case you were wondering.

This IS a rare combo......for a V6. Most V6's, and this in in general terms, do not have IUP AND ICAP.

Anyone?????????

The lack of IUP,manual tranny and the rare sonic blue color combo on my dealers lot forced me to order mine.

I agree with you 05mach1

I waited because I ordered IUP & I wanted it. If I hadn't wanted it I wouldn't have ordered it. So, me being sturborn like I am I waited.

Actually, not only the Sonic Blue but also the Mineral Grey, & Legand Lime. Because as of right now the only confirmend colors are:

Black
Legend Lime
Performance White
Redfire
Satin Silver Screaming Yellow
Torch Red
Tungsten Silver (new for '06)
Vista Blue (new for '06)
Windveil Blue

With the Tungsten Silver & Vista Blue being new colors. Which would make my car, your car, & all other Sonic Blues, Mineral Grey's, & Legend Lime's the rarest.

BOT~The 1st 05 I saw was a Black V6 Deluxe with IUP. Other than mine, the black V6, & a Silver GT (a few days ago) those are the only 3 I have seen with IUP. But I am sure that they are becoming more common now that the issues are resolved with the IUP shortage. So however rare they may appear right now. I am sure that won't remain the case in a few months. JMO.

I'm sure it's not 'Rare' per say, but it will be nice to see the final production #'s at the end of the '05 production run.
