wtf?

I was at the dealership yesterday and i saw a new 2004 Alero gls coupe. It looked nice in the steel grey but then I noticed that it had a side marker light on the fender!?!. Is this the first year or has it been around for a while and discussed before and im just a dumbass?

Might be one of those things individual dealers do to sell cars... like some add pin striping, some add faux cloth tops and call it a "diamond edition" alero, etc etc.... but take some pics, and maybe inquire what model it is.

Did it look anything like this (have to scroll down to the sixth car):

The Alero in that photo is the "Chevrolet Alero" which is sold Europe. It comes standard with side markers. Even the clear corners are STANDARD. <_<

yea those are the exact lights on it. But i checked and the lights werent clear cornered. I will take pics of it on tuesday

The 2004's come with those Euro style side markers (according to the sales brochure I got).

It is??? Sorry, but that was the best photo i could find of the Euro version that really showed off the markers. Funny, but i only got one pop-up, just had a hard time gettin rid of the little SOB :unsure:

I don't think it's a dealer option because I've seen them up here in Canada too! They are the orange colored side markers... right?

Looks pretty sweet though....

they look pretty good but i would have it on my car

hehe too bad that's where my OSV emblems are B)

factory clear corners are cool. factory side-markers are not.

I've seen the side markers in a dealership here too...I checked the specs and it apparently had a Euro package which was worth $1000...can't remember what else came with the package but it seemed like a rip-off to me. By the way, it is actually called a Euro Package.

Except for the clear corners and markers, that Alero is the exact same as the US, so if it was a package, then those two exterior perks are all that you get.

And after seeing that picture again, i see now that i definitely need to get my car lowered :huh?:
