Very Nice! That's one way to keep your lady happy.

I had very little to do with the choice. As a matter of fact I purposely stayed neutral in the decision to choose it. I learned my lesson from previous attempts to help her pick a car.

I do like the color a lot on that car. Looks nice for sure. Leather and everything!

It's a metallic gray called phantom gray. Interestingly the wheels are also tinted gray rather than the standard silver wheel paint. The previous owner also tinted the side windows so that the whole package kind of goes together.

For those of you interested in horsepower. This motor is rated at 220 hp when you run premium. About 210 on 87 octane (which it doesn't mind at all). It's a very civilized powertrain. Smooth power from the motor and a 5 speed electronically controlled tranny. Randi doesn't care to experiment in this area, but when I get a chance I will give it some real world testing. (I hope she doesn't read this). I'll edit it out after a while.

The last thing you want is carbon building up in there. You will "have" to clean it out once in a while. How much does it weigh?

She weighs in the neighborhood of 3300 pounds.
