whose bright idea was this?

As someone else said, these were items you should have known were not on the vehicle when purchased.
However, if everyone added something to the vehicle, the sticker would not have started below 30K.
Hell, I would like HUD, as well as the steering wheel switches, which is not as inexpensive as it seems.
For those who believe they got an overpriced cheap vehicle, just crawl underneath and look up, those are not inexpensive drive train components.

A big problem with all auto manufactures is that if these items are offered, they will most likely be in a package, that would require someone else to purchase items they don't want or need. We in the north need heated mirrors, those in AZ don't. I very seldom use the heated seat, those in AZ probably never do, etc. So those in AZ, if they purchased a lux model, paid for items they never will use.
It appears to be a start of another GM bashing thread, so I'm out of here.
