Better interests rates and discounts for buying it off the lot rather than custom ordering.

They had exactly what I wanted already on the way to the lot! Got it in 2 days rather than 3 months! I also got about $3000 off the web site configuration of the same vehicle (except mine is 2012).

Obvious advantages.

What's with all this "Comfort Access" nonsense. Hell, I have to pull the choke out, put the key in the ignition, turn it to start the car, and *gasp* let it warm up for a minute before I start driving.

I wouldn't pay $500 extra just so I didn't have to take my key out of my pocket, seems a bit ridiculous to me.
