Congrats! There's a saying around these parts. If we don't see pictures, it doesn't exist.

Sorry, meant to get photo online today, but it's just a big white car. ;-) .... that looks like it just left the showroom.

I did a test drive Monday, nice curvy road and a long highway stretch. Felt good, a bit firmer than expected, but not bad. Drove two hours home from Austin to San Antonio. More tire noise than I expected and somewhat firm, even on Comfort setting.

Checked the tires this morning, they had them at 45 or so and the spare at 55. ;-). Dropped the four to 35 and was much, much better, as would be expected. Will drop to recommended setting of 33 tomorrow and see how it feels.

Tires are like new, no cracking and clearly garaged, but probably six year old originals. Need to check the sidewall code. May try the Pirelli's that Steve really likes next year.

I run mine at 31, you’ll notice another big difference!

I would recommend the Pirellis

Did you enjoy using the DRCC and LKA on your drive home? And hope you have family members who can enjoy the reclining rear seats and cavernous leg room.

played with LKA, but seems more useful on a long interstate high trip. Haven’t tried DRCC. Still trying to see what the infra-red cameras can do, and at what speed.

Wife may just let me drive her around back there. Nice being able to throw attaché in rear floor board. ridiculous amount of room.

The IR cameras are part of the pedestrian detection and avoidance system. You can't really see them functioning on the Nav screen, but you have to trust it works... Unless you want to stand in front of your car and have your wife drive towards you!!! The Canadian spec cars also had night vision that could be displayed on the Nav screen.
