I'm confused why the Panther didn't get embossed headrests like the Fifty.
So the funny thing is, when I saw the CE ZL1 at the auto show, the first thing I did was look for the panthers. The second thing I did was look at the headrests to see if they said “Panther”. I was hoping against hope that they took that swing.

Funny thing…The Fifty is a 2017 model year and I’ve had mine since 2017. There are a number of places on the car where the word “Fifty” appears. On my car, it is 17 times. It didn’t occur to me until 6 years later when I changed my plate to “SSF17TY” that the number of appearances (17) might have been intentional.

Agreed. And I think GM did enough to differentiate it, so again it comes down to on an individual basis, is the package worth the price. For the ZL1, GM only needs to convince about 1,000 people to get 350 sold at their price. Pretty good odds of that.
