07 G at SF car show
I recently went to the San Francisco car show and saw the new G for the first time in person. IMO it looked great, I didnt even notice the chrome strip as much as I did in pictures. Anyways getting to the point, once inside in the front seat I noticed how soft and smooth the leather was. About 5 seconds after that thought, a couple got in the rear and started commenting on how the leather felt "tacky." I wondered why they thought that because it felt great too me..anyone here think the leather was tacky feeling???
Oh, another thing I noticed, the interior was great and the quality was top notch unlike the previous G, but it felt a little smaller inside, front/back

On a sidenote..where in the bay have you guys been purchasing (or test driving) the 07 sedans? I'm particularly interested in the 6MT, but the dealership near work doesn't have any available. Someone want to point me in the correct direction?

Then, a few weeks later, what happens? Brian follows up, telling me that he'll match any offers I get.

I said Fairfield is already doing $750 off for EVERYONE. When I told him about that, he pretty much told me to p!ss off, said I should just test drive the car at that other dealership instead (I didn't mention Fairfield). I forwarded the e-mail to the executive manager, and he wasn't helpful at all. Pretty much blew me off, too.

Then again, I wasn't looking to buy that day, or to buy a car on their lot (too many options), so maybe my experience would have been different in that case.......
Anyway, elsewhere in the Bay Area, I second Claudio at Serramonte. Really nice guy, but last I checked they had no 6MTs on the lot.
