The only other minor things I saw was you can now delete the standard carpet floor mats if you choose All Weather liners, save $50

There is now an optional Cargo Area Management System
• Cargo Net
• Cargo Well Rubber Mat
• Reversible Load Floor

They got rid of the De-Icer across all models? Seems like an odd thing to get rid of. Always wanted that feature in a vehicle.

Is the De-Icer the heated Wiper blades?

No, the bottom 3" or so of the windshield has the defroster lines like the rear glass. It prevents ice buildup on the bottom of your windshield which inturn prevents the blades from icing and smearing from sitting in the collection of snow/ice.

That sounds like a really good idea, I have ripped many wiper blades in the winter. Any reason for its removal?

Perhaps it's to do with the pricing changes they're making for 21? Certainly can't be that expensive to implement into the car but who know.

Update:

here’s a video on YouTube showing the 2021 st with the interior at around the 2:52 mark.

I do like the gloss black trim. May have to order that piece for mine.

Yeah, it's really nice it fits the ST well. I wish the Platinum didn't have the same interior materials as the ST, the Platinum should have more wood or even a nice metal finish instead of the gloss black.

Looks pretty good! Will have to be careful to not scratch it too much over time, thanks a lot for posting.
