I did it !!
07 Vista Blue Conv. CS with everything exept the Shaker 1K, which for me is not needed.
The selections were charcoal panal, black cloth roof and the dove seats. I was back and forth on whether to take the GT App pkg. (hood scoop, engine cover) but I went for it in the end.
The pictures you guys supplied were KEY in making various choices and one of you said "the sun would relect off the satin panal in a Conv." which I think is true. The dealer said the panel is ribbed where it is smooth in the US version, is that true?
The final price was $38,600 CDN plus taxes ect. I could likely have saved another 100 bucks by driving around and haggling, but Coastal in Burnaby B.C. is quite close to where I live and where I would go for service anyways.
Now it's the 8-12 week wait, then its into the garage with a cover on it for another couple months as I will only drive it for the good 1/2 of the year. Vancouver gets hardly any snow, but lots of rain and I don't want some jerk sliding into me. Or should I say my baby CS who I will likely pamper more than I do my wife. haha
Thanks again to you all, Brian

You probably wouldn't have saved much of anything on shopping around other than Coastal, as the Family Pricing is the same for all and pretty set as the sell point. Your price is only $400 Cdn more than mine, and I don't have the cloth roof. Assume your's is a 5 speed tranny, as mine is. The Dove/Black seats look great with the Black car.
Happy waiting.

Satin panel is ribbed, but as for reflecting the sun it does not, the dash above it does a good job of shading it, I have the satin, and have put only about 150 miles on mine of which maybe 10 are with the top up. have driven it with the sun in different directions, did not notice the glare others have spoke of or assumed.
