Also, Let us know how the car is in the snow.

Handling in the snow has proven to be no problem at all, the slip indicator flashes a lot but it seems to handle it well. Ice is another story. I need to drive very slowly coming up to a stop and increase my following distance. Keep in mind I don't have winters on it yet, and I am thinking about getting Pilot Alpin PA2 v rated snow tires installed at Costco. Has anyone used these tires before?

I keep forgetting my camera a home, I'll post some pictures soon but don't expect the perfect show room shine. That's been gone for a while now thanks to the dreaded evil white stuff.

I don't think so, not for witers. If I do decide to buy new rims in the near future I would rather spend the money on some 18s or 19s for the summer. I guess I could just buy some steel wheels for the winter, but it will look terrible.

So, are you taking it out at lunch??

Overall I am very happy with the navigation system, I just need to get it setup properly. The graphics are amazing and the whole system is very fast. So far I have to say that it is the best navigation I've used. Don't worry about it I'm sure you will be very happy with it.
