Hi all, First many thanks for dealing with my rants of anxiousness over these last months. A few observations: I Drive is very intuitive, and easy to pick up; the car's balance and performance is in a world of its own; Auburn , IMHO, is the best interior color and goes great with silver gray (it's worth the 3 month wait); Comfort seats are the real deal, great support and comfort; Logic 7 sounds great, would not want anything less; Sirius doesnt seem to have the same fidelity, but is pretty cool; Voice activation and Bluetooth rock, got my V710 paired, car loaded all 86 of my contacts, and I'm having a blast summoning the "voice" (gotta come up w/ name for the voice) and making calls and switching radio channels.

I only could spend about an hour w/ the delivery specialist, so I figured out alot of this on my own. I'm pretty impressed at how easy it is. I am going back to spend some time with the dude to learn the Nav system, and other subtleties he said he'd show me. Oh yeah, had the dealer pop in the euro reflectors too.

P.S. Time to change my user name, can't figure out how to do it?

Gotta drive now

Very nice color combo.
Congratulations. You're gonna love driving this thing.

It'll also get you acquainted with the local gas station.

Another excellent choice of colors. Silver Grays/Auburns coming on strong of late. Pretty soon we can have a Silver Gray/Auburn (or Chateau for us 6ers) forum just for usuns
