Both BMW and the Chevy dealer I bought the Jeep from have offered me loaners for regular service. As did Cadillac for the CTS.

We test drove again this weekend. They finally got in the Hybrid Calligraphy model for us to test. My wife loves it. She doesn't like the darker colors, so we will likely wait for white, or silver, rust, or blue to come in.

Inside is posh.

There's a lot I like about this car. The passenger side knee room looks small to me though :eh:

They borrowed pretty heavily from Land Rover and Rivian on that interior. That's not a bad thing.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Its not small at all. More than the Acura actually. I like how the dash is more compact and flat which frees up knee space.

I also still had it in my wife's position before we swapped.

I agree. They added a lot over the previous model years. There are some gimmicky thinks like the UV light box, but the zero g seats, heads up display, rear camera like your vette + 360 deg., lane departure, etc make it a rather attractive purchase.

Are we talking Chris/Jason levels of sooner than later, or Jeff/Frode/Coop levels?

Coop
We've just waited long enough. We spent the last couple weeks getting numbers and even spent last weekend in several states trying to buy, but everything keeps getting sold before we can get serious. Luckily i was able to leverage my local dealer on a new model coming in this weekend that has the exact color and interior my wife wants.

I've also been trying to get this car for my wife's birthday, so sooner than later was a plus.

Coop
Lots of good reviews thus far, so not as worried. I like that its using their 1.6L DI Turbo motor along with their well tested 6 speed auto.
