Looks like you will have your car earlier due to logistics! Congrats!

Where did you get the completion date, dealership or Online?

Thanks

Good to see y'all moving ahead with the Youification Program. I've always liked the automotive tendency bestow great names for products - for instance Gravity Leather. This, I assume, is the leather that pulls you into the seats? As opposed to the anti-Gravity Leather that lets you float an inch or so above the seats? What happens if you come home tired and can't overcome the gravity to get out? Are you stuck there until you rest up? Or is there an extractor on the options list? I'm going for the Lounge Leather - just sounds more restful and safe.

I decided against the lounge leather because it felt to "barcalounger-ish" to me.

The sport seats felt much more, well, "sporty".

I thought the seats were the same sport seat, just with a different leather. Something else to check on.

My impression at the time of my (too quick) test drive was that the LL seats seemed a little flatter, maybe a little wider, and didn't feel like the side leg bolsters (if that what they are called) were as pronounced.

It seems like the LL didn't hold me in the seat as firmly and snuggly as the Sport seats.

Or I was just so impressed with the test drive itself that I just made it all up.

Could be.
