Thanks everyone for all the great comments. Well, mine is now locked in and LOADED (cold weather, technolgy, premium, spare, rear climate, muti contour seats). Space grey with saddle nevada leather. And I'll be going to Performance Center for delivery, with a scenic drive through Chimney Rock, Grandfather Mtn, Blue Ridge Pkwy, Monticello, etc. on my way back to PA. What better way to 'get acquainted' with the new machine! Can't wait. Got my fingers crossed that we get one of the good ones!!
