I just got word that my January 30 order isn't even in production yet, but will be later this month. Appears these things are red-hot...

I know I'm not alone in thinking they are not "ugly" as Car and Driver made more than one complimentary remark about them when they awarded it best of the luxury SUV's shortly after its debut.

I guess to each his own...

yes...to each their own. And some peeps have no no idea what looks good and what doesn't...it's a matter of good or bad taste.

And that's why God created options.

Nope. I've had mine a year and conditioned it since day 1.

The dye from jeans is easy to get off. Other color transfers are not, such as the dye from my belt. Tried everything but it will not come out. I do like the color and when clean, it's beautiful. But it doesn't stay clean long enough. Too much to maintain. I don't like an interior that constantly looks dirty.

They checked both locations for me, and everything they have on the lot is already spoken for.
