Thanks for the answers - I could not tell the difference by driving them, either, but was not sure how extensive the changes really were. Sounds like some minor shock upgrades will do it at some point. I also agree that the Spring Edition package does not appear to be as good a bargain as the 2LT package, but I do like that color. Regarding my 2LT-LT2 error, I was not wrong, just ahead of my time - the way Chevy has a way of changing the package names (one year it is LTZ, then 2LT, etc), and I sure that at some point I will be right. I just wish Chevy would devote some effort to yearly improvements (look elswhere on the site for tons of excellent, simple changes that could be done without major retooling). Instead we get 4 years of color changes and new names for option packages... but that is a rant for another time. Thanks for all the info!

 

I test drove a 1LT before I bought a 2LT. To me the 1LTs suspension seemed a little bouncier and the 2LTs seemed a little firmer.
