Default New pics of my Crystal White

Here's a link to the complete album:

Here's a few of my fave pics from the set......I love the metal flake in this paint.......it's so much more impressive than the white I've seen of other cars.

Default how hard to get?

LowJ, great ride!

I want a manual tranny too. How hard was it to get yours? Also, how do you like the shift feel?

I can't decide between crystal white and matador red. Your pix help a lot!

The shifter is nice.....precise and not too long. The clutch take-up is a bit odd though.....took about a day to realize where the right spot was to keep from jerky shifts....now it's smooth sailing. As far as availability, the manual I got was the only one my dealer had seen since they started selling them.....they had to locate it at another dealer and have it shipped for me.

Default Wow - looks great!

I test drove a white one at the dealer in Charlotte, NC. Might have been the same one. I think it was white with black interior. In fact the clutch pedal had the rubber cover coming loose and we just left it off for the short drive around the block. It drove nicely and I didn't try to push it too hard.

How much did dealer come off MSRP? Which dealer did you use?

It seems like the Charlotte dealer is still not ready to deal much. Probably since there is only one in Charlotte so they think they dont have to be competative. I might have to special order anyway to get nav and possibly sport or one of the luxury packages. There are some dealers down in Florida that are dealing about $2500 or more of MSRP but then you have to ship it home or pay for a plane ticket down there.
