I'm going to try to take a look at this today since I have a customer near the dealer.

Obviously, it's not really in the ballpark for price, but Vsports seem to be very difficult to find. Being a 2015 means it's super rare - 1 of only 283 base models!

Wow - price drop to $17,999 already. I have to say this is a very good price for an ATS Premium. Too bad the back seat is too small.

That is not just a good price but it is a very nice car. I know Bill hates it but I like that interior color combo.

Unfortunately, the Vsport was not available due to an interior flooding issue (hope this isn't common). I drove a 3.6L CTS (more on that later).
New low water mark for Vsport prices:

I'm guessing you go by the gauges to confirm whether it is a Premium or base.

Also, the premium has a sunroof, which is the easiest way to tell. There are some other subtle things too like rear climate control zone.
I played with CUE for a while and I have to say it seemed more responsive and less annoying than the CUE in the ATS I drove. I'm not sure there's anything to this since both cars are 2014s.

I don't know that I would assume that all 2014 CUE systems behave the same.

This would be my number one choice color combo for the Vsport:
