You betcha Colin. Seeing the car on TV has really made me want it that much more......if that was even possible.

Also, I noticed how good it sounds as well.

That is strange Colin. Motorweek should be airing the same episode coast to coast, no?

FWIW... I noticed they commented on the Active steering, saying "it had less feel than the BMW syst."

Since I wasn't thrilled with the BMW system that I tested;
If it is in fact *true*..... it's one option that I wouldn't pick.

Colin, I checked our PBS station on the internet this morning and it said we wouldn't get it till next week. If I remember correctly it was mainly the HD PBS stations that were getting it today.
You must have the same one as us. We just have to wait till next week .
BUT, I have driven one already (sorry Shane, had to say it) so I know how awesome they are .

That's weird... it wasn't just the HD channel here.

Pretty good review. They seemed to really like it.

I like the way it peeled out too and gave a good long squeal on the 1-2 shift. I almost thought it was a 6mt. It looked pretty slick in the slalom too.

0-60 in 5.7; 14.2 1/4 @ 101 and 1/2 second faster than previous generation. That's nice. Maybe I can give you a go after all Shane.

Opulent interior! Guess it doesn't get much better.

He said it was longer, wider and taller. I thought it was slightly shorter.

That would be fun to have a couple of red G's going head to head.

And you are right, the 07 is lower not taller. The 07 is lower by a half an inch over the 06

Only at the track right!

I think he just was excited thinking bigger is better when making that mistake.
