no the cruise control is on the right side... same as your LGT and your old Vibe GT. And it was attached to your steering wheel. That one however is attached to the steering column.

if you look, he does not have the cruise control lever on the right side of his steering wheel. so my guess, is that is an AFTERMARKET cruise control module that he had installed. it is aftermarket and if he doesn't want it on the right side, then they can't MAKE him! LOL

Thats just a weird cruise handle lol... the guys who priced me out one would have installed a completely stock looking one on the steering wheel itself. Yours is just funny looking lol

Yours is just funny looking lolwell, perhaps that's how he wanted his and if it works for him, then so be it. not like you have power anything other than only the 2 front doors with keyless entry and an alarm for a car that is completely stock system. ?? now THAT seems wierd to me, but it's your car, just like this is HIS car. to each his own.
