MA just got me my 2012 Order Guide
Just got an email from my MA with the 2012 order guide. Most items from 2011 are still there and I'm continuing to go through it, but one change is the addition of the 'Technology Package' that includes the center armrest, Park Distance Control, HK Sound System and Connected or Connected w/Nav.
The guide does have a SOP date of 7/11 and I'm interpreting that as a "Start of Production" date in Jul 11.
The other changes I saw were the expected 3 rear seats option, but this has a SOP date of 11/11, so that may not be in production until Nov this year. Also, there's one last change I see is an option for black headlight housings with a SOP of 9/11. I don't remember if this was already an option for 2011.
Aside from that, no major changes. Now to comb through it and figure out what to do since I don't know if I want to wait until November for a 3 seat option if that's really what it means!!!
All others in the same boat, 2012s are getting closer. I don't have pricing information at this point.

looks like they are pushing the park distance and alarm system on the '12 models. I would order most of the options in the new technology and premium package with the exception of the PD and alarm. I would not be seeing any discount (i'm going to assume the discounts would be $500 for each of the new packages like the '11 model) but insted would get two expensive option ($500 each at '11 pricing) for free; both I really do not want or think I need. For me that makes the price of an '12 model $1,000 more then the '11. I think they are already pricey for what you get, now even more so. Also what happen with the Sun roof and garage door opener? are they no longer included in any package?

NP!!!
I've been so anxious to get the process moving that even trivial things like this are met with disproportionate excitement!!!
Based on howcthe packages are now grouped, I'm not sure I'll be getting the same ones that I was eyeing on the 2011. Planning on putting in the order today!

Here's a comment on the park distance feature. I have noticed that while backing into a parking place where there is an obstruction, I find it difficult to judge the distance I am away from the instruction. Everything looks closer than they really are. I don't have the PD control, but wish I did.

But then again my MA is pretty cool, so maybe not!
