Hmmm... Rally Edition 1... and they've caved to public pressure and brought back the LS trim name.

What I find most interesting are the black bow ties on the Rally Edition, which I think are the first factory bow ties that are not gold since 2004?

Body color door handles, mirror caps and bodyside moldings on LT... the way it should have been from the get-go.  The black stuff on the 2014 was very downscale.
