As for the 07, With the Premium Package, Tech Package, Nav Package, LoJack, and Tire/Rim warranty, plus tax, tags, etc, the total was about $43k.
About what I expected for what I got. I was a little upset they wanted me to pay $50 for a cargo net on a $40k car, but that is taken care of.
One word of caution. I'm a Sirius fan (had 2 receivers, one was in my '04). They are telling me (I don't believe them at this point) that you cannot get Sirius if you get the NAV package, because the NAV system uses XM. I say BS. I am still chasing this issue.
After four days, I love this car. Handles great, feels smooth. Plenty of power. I can't wait to have it broke in so I can get a feel for how she really likes to play. I have not used the paddle shifters yet, because I am taking her easy right now.
I especially like the keyless entry/start. Also, the 9.5GB hard drive is a nice touch. You can pick a mood (relaxing, easy, hopping, etc.) and the hard drive program will play music from that genre. You can insert a CD and record while listening to it, or record while listening to satellite radio, etc. Cool feature!
My parents are coming in to visit from out of town tonight, so pics will probably have to wait until Friday/Saturday.

Have had my 07 S (Plat Gaph/Stone, Premium, Tech) for a week now and 450 miles. It feels like a very logical development of my 2002.5 G- but way more solid with the sport suspension and stiffer chasis, far effortly faster everywhere where the old car felt like it worked to be quick (tho I haven't flogged it yet). The interior- with sport seats and the Premium/Tech toys is in another league compared to my low option former ride. I'm glad they had all this stuff on the car in stock or I might have saved a few bucks and not known what fun I was missing. The car was $39,700. It was the first one they had and I didn't want to way a couple of months for discount time to kick in (being way late for a 60 k service (like 10 k), needing rotors/pads and about $1k in body work (my bad). I got what I considered a fair trade and am a very happy camper.
