Default Taking Delivery Tonight! Super Excited! UPDATE 2!

Hello all,

I've been a long time lurker of these forums and I wanted to thank everyone for the loads of information I've been able to dig up here. Lately, I find myself spending most my free time reading your posts and oogling your pics haha!

I'm off to pick up my brand new 2011 USB with black alcantara, series 2 F. In Canada, the series 2 F comes with the "original" 10 spoke F rims. I'm coming from a 2010 black on black GS350AWD, which will stay in the family btw.

I also picked up some 18 inch Sparco Pista rims with 225 45 18 Michelin Xi2 winter rubber that will go on at the first sign of snow fall. Tirerack says they will fit. Let me know what you think. I just needed something decent looking and cheap to endure the salt, sand, and slush mix we get here.


The original plan was to wait till after the winter - But... I was at the dealership servicing the GS and there she was, sitting the in middle of the showroom, new eyes staring at me... it was meant to be haha.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

O and FYI, I'm in the Toronto area.

UPDATE 1!

Shes a beast!
Here are some quick pics I took this morning. Enjoy! Will shoot with a better camera at a better setting hopefully sometime soon.





These focus on the 2011 changes.




Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone! I'll be sure to update with impressions after i spend some more time behind the wheel!


MORE PICS!





Winters on! Summers off!
