Default Saw the Sprint Blue at the dealer today

And it's much like the 2 Nogaro S4s I've had - they don't photo like they look in real person. I know this color is for the real fan of it, but I love it. Now I have no excuse to order one other than plopping down the money.

Dealer did say he has 13 in queque, one was from Sept - still hasn't been pulled for production. I seriously wonder when one will come in when I make it official.

Default Reeves in Tampa?

I take it this is Reeves in Tampa? I was there the weekend before last, and talked briefly to an assistant manager there. He told me they had sold two in the last few months, had two sold with February delivery, and an allocation for March that hadn't been sold yet. I wonder if they had that many orders in the last two weeks, or if one us got incorrect information. The only one I saw on the lot was the standard Meteor/Magma demo.

The timing of my current lease will have me looking to get one of the first 2009 allocations, but with your info, I'm wondering if I should start more serious discussions already, as some of those may get bumped to 2009. I'm personally really liking the Deep Sea Blue pictures I've seen on the web. I should see if they have any other models in that color to help guide me.

Heheh...good eye. Definitely Reeves' bullpen (and obviously their license plate frame). That's where my A5 is on order (their second in allocation). Ask for Chuck if you go back to look into it. Good guy.

Default Re: Chuck

yeah, Chuck is the guy I talked to. He was very friendly, and didn't seem to be at all bothered by the fact I told him I was pretty much just sight-seeing, with no intentions of having delivery of anything for another 8-9 months. He opened the car and let me play around with all the buttons No test drive yet, as I don't drive manual. That's another reason I won't be getting the car for a while - I want to learn stick first.

Default Re: Chuck

Yeah, he's both attentive and low key. Two qualities I love in a dealer rep! I'll just have to forgive him for being a Vols fan!

Completely agree about learning manual. WELL worth it! Especially on a car other than your new A5/S5.
