That is an awesome looking vehicle. I have a 550 M-Sport almost identical coming in a couple weeks. It just got off the boat in Halifax. How long from arrival in Canada to delivery of vehicle?
What make and type of tires are on the style 172 wheels?
My car is identical except for Silver Grey exterior and 6 speed manual tranny.
Congrats & Enjoy your car

Thanks! Well it took about 2 weeks i believe to come across Canada on the train and then a few days to get unloaded etc. Last few days were the hardest! But it's here and I'm going driving right now!

For 07, is the M sport pkg steering wheel heated by chance? Also, does anyone know if the night vision may be retrofitted? Thanks!

Well that's good but still no M Sport package and that's the real treat
Problem is with the M-sport package you loose the active roll, wich IMO is better.
