I'll check it out, but I would never buy a car, not even a Toyota or Lexus, in its first model year. I'll wait til the second or third model year.

And, I would sell my car outright, not trade it in. Learned a trick a few years ago. I think its called a passthru sale. The buyer of my old car essentially got it thru the dealer, even though found the buyer and did all the work. Treated like a trade-in against the new purchase, so you save a lot on sales tax.
