The X package is a stripped out sport package (sport suspension, 18" wheels, front air dam, illuminated sills, sport pedals, but DOES NOT include ventilated seats, HID,) This is available with or without the moonroof
If you have access to the '07 order sheet do you know when we can order a '07 or the date they will start shipping them and any other changes.

There will be 2 different blacks in '07..the new one being a pearlescent black. Blue onyx looks to be discontinued and possibly replaced by a different blue. Mystic Gold is replaced by Golden Almond Metallic.

Heresay from a dealer, is not worth the air that is used to create the sentences. I hope that they do discontinue GFM. There are too many around here for my tastes.

As far as I know, anything you special order now will be an '07...unless the dealer takes your order and locates that spec at another dealer and gets it transferred or is part of his allocation.
'07's are scheduled to come off the line end of July. So figure 4 weeks for shipment, prep and delivery.

The new blue apparently will be the electric blue shown at the Auto Show according to a NY dealer.
