Specifically the grand touring or signature trim models. Was there any specific advantages to the signature trim level in the older years versus grand touring?

My concern is taking a grand touring that’s a newer year when I could have gone with an older year in the signature trim (and cheaper) and have received the same luxuries since at that time all the tech was a premium.

I hope that makes sense! And thank you everyone in advance.

    Either get one that is new enough to not be affected by the cylinder head crack issue, one that’s had it fixed, or one that’s cheap enough that you can cover it when it blows.

    Otherwise, I went Grand Touring + Tech Package over the Signature on my ‘18 and have never felt like I was missing out.

    That said, I would very much like to have the 360 cam, folding mirrors, and ventilated seats from later models.

      I’m hearing that issue was due to the Mexico plant? Would that also be the case with a Japan made one? All the ones I am seeing have J as the first letter.
