Another new XS
Here she is:
Sport Appearance, Premium, Nav, Tech.
I wanted blue slate but whatever, its the same color as my first G was way back.
100 miles on the clock so far. The car is a bit heavy, but still accelerates very quickly. Very enjoyable. The tires are nowhere near as sticky as the Bridgestones on the Sport models but the ride is more cushy. The 7AT is just amazing, my days of driving manual are definately over. It will take me a looong time to figure out all the gadgets....

Congrats!DOMO I think black looks the best. You'll love it. I will have had mine for 6 weeks tomorrow and I just passed 3500 miles. It is always a joy to drive.
Now to decide which oil to put in it.

Thanks everyone. So far so good. The car is a hoot to drive compared to my Lexus. I will miss the wood and the luxury but not for long.
TL62, yes I think the midnight grill is definately the way to go. Anyone have a pic of a black car with one?
Mickey and KLB, Black looks great when its clean, but its never clean... LOL I asked the dealer about the oil, he said use regular oil and dont listen to crazy people about Esther and all that.
Peter, I didn't opt for AWD. As I said in numerous threads, here in NY to get a RWD Journey with sport you gotta WAIT + OVERPAY, I had no interest in either one of those + the AWD cars lease better ( did try to get a RWD but to no avail). I have absolutely no need for AWD but to me the difference in the way the car feels is negligable. It is a bit heavier, but on the flip side I prefer the softer ride and the all season tires of the XS.

Yep. I got the car in NJ. Its not really inventory fail, when they ordered all those AWD it was proly December so the X models made sense, now that they have been sitting there for 4+ months.... lol I am telling you people, you want a RWD and dont mind paying mroe and/or waiting Kenny will get you one. Otherwise, just give up and surrender to the Xs like I did. Its nto so bad
