Are you serious? I hope you know there is difference between metric and english systems 200km/h would only be about 130mp/h and 200mp/h would be 320+km/h!

It's beige.

I need to see one in person.

I think they carried the "retro" look a little too far. This is supposed to be a 21st Century Sports Car. Oh well, my son likes it.

You should listen to your son more

What does "IDL" stand for on the comment mentioned above about the IDL date of January 9th? I could not find the defitinition for that one.

Thanks..

Yeah, I know the difference !!, and so what it shows 200..... Do you think that a car has to bury it's needle if it's in " imperial ( mph ) " mode ??... same thing if it's in metric, where other than a track can you go more than 200 km/h ?

There's absolutly no reason to have two different clusters. Take a look at the Grand Prix. One cluster, and one toggle switch to go from imperial to metric.... simple.... cheaper....

The button on the left is traction control, and the button on the right is a 12V access port...

Yep my GTO is like this too, universal 200 speedo. You can even change it to km in the option menu.

I took my Accord comment off, not the Mods...

I am just tired of all these petty complaints about the car. And we haven't even seen a true production car yet...

"Pre-production car shown, Actual car may vary"

Maybe that should be on all the pictures until we are told that it is the Final version of the car.

FWIW, My dealer told me that he would contact me 2 weeks before prodution and I could make cahnges at that time.

Well...We made it to Florida last night For those of you guessing Naples you were close. We' re a little further south...Marco Island! Not heading to Disney, but will be in Miami for a few days... I will try to answer as many questions as I can and will post more pics in the coming days...

Pictures make it difficult to show how nice the interior is, and the color is hard to capture. It is beige in person--between the flash and the monitor color variations it is tough.

The car does not have HUD

It is a "captured test fleet" car off the line in Oshawa

The gas tank does not have a release inside..."Push it in and it pops out"

The "button" you see is the hook for the floor mat...It is just black in person (the white you see may be salt! or the flash?)

Trunk opening in tight, however, we fit a ton in it! Two full-size suitcases (I did not think this would be possible, but they went right in), various other bags/presents, laptops, etc. I'll post a pic. Two weeks worth of stuff for two people and a dog!

The two-tone looks terrific in person. Carpets are black (which is good) the inserts in the dash and doors is beige cloth--looks nice.

Doors sound good when closing...Glass indexes nicely.

As far as snow driving...This car does have snow tires on the back, and we made it from Oshawa to Toronto to MI (during the last storm). Obviously, you need to adjust your driving for the snow, but we did not get stuck at all. Not the best car for snow driving, but I would say make sure you invest in a good pair of snow tires and "practice" in an empty lot to get a feel for the car...

Backseat ??...I was back there for a short drive to the store and was very comfortable...I am only 5'0 though, but plenty of headroom, knees didn't bang against my knees, and room for feet. Person in front of me was only about 5'9", but did not have seat all the way up either. I would personally say it is a functional backseat for kids? For whatever that's worth...

Promise I will post more pics once it's washed and we get a chance to take them...after two days in the car, and crappy MI/Canadian weather I am heading to the beach first

Thanks!!! I was gonna say Marco Island but Naples was a bigger target to hit
