the s Grand Touring is the 2.5. The i Grand Touring is the SkyActiv.

It's almost 2 seconds quicker 0-60 and still gets 20 city / 28 highway vs 27/38

The main problem is my wife wanted a manual with Pearl White paint, black leather, full features. The SkyActive wasn't that bad, but they could only find Silver (which is actually a dull dark gray) and automatic. It's a lower cost model too.
