Thanks just printed this.

It says the 3.0 weights 4982 lbs, I'm looking at my 2006 brochure and the 2006 3.0 weights 4696. So how can the 2007 get better gas mileage than the 2006 if it weights 300 lbs more?

Also it doesn't mention the ground clearance for 2007? Will it be higher or lower ground clearance. Form the pics it looks lower.
2006 ground clearance is 8.3 for 3.0.

ground clearance is the big issue with this car. i'm still SO surprised they aren't offering height adjustment. even the MB ML gets 11.4 inches ground clearance at max! it's SO surprising that they think hill descent control is a more used feature than height control... ridiculous.

what does 'green band windshield' mean?

HD radio doesn't appear delayed, so that's good.

perforated seats are required with ventilated seat option. does that mean ALL seats in car are perforated, or just the front ones? i also wonder if the black seats look better... so you don't see all the holes in the beige version...

The tobacco seat color in the brochure does not look similar to the one shown in the earlier intereior pics. The ones shown in the early pics look a bit more reddish brown.

According to carscoop, it seems that the E70 will be displayed at the 2006 Paris motor show.

Please could someone verify that the leather shown in this pic is called tobacco or not?
