Yeah I was talking about the difference in horsepower and torque. Well I am pretty much an old man (58) and in the city you can only use that power in short bursts and I guess I have finally grown up enough to drive somewhere near the speed limit.......might as well get 43 mpg while I am doing it.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! LOL. Congrats on your purchase. Let us know how the CT works out, a lot of guys might consider it for a second car. Hah, I'm an old guy too but, still want the urge of a V8.

I drove one of the SE CT's but it was not the color I wanted and they had the Nebular gray leaving Japan the day I was there so I got the gray one. It is a dark metallic gray and looks really good. My wife has had a white car for the last 20 years and there is no way I want another one....bored with white. The only other color the SE comes in is silver and that is the color of my GS I just sold....so it was a nobrainer to go with the gray since that was the only other color the SE has available.
