This driver is a real knucklehead, I saw him change lanes several times and exit a freeway and I don't think he ever used his turn signals. I love driving behind his type. Yeah, I'm clairvoyant, I'm supposed to know when he is going to change lanes in front of me.

Nice drive; I think this is the guy who cracked the foam backing on the engine cover carpeting - he even mentions it.

Like the exhaust sound; doesn't remind me of a runaway lawn trimmer like some small cars. Seemed to merge onto the Interstate with no problems (except for almost cutting off the white car in front) and pretty reasonable interior noise level. We'll know more about all this once one of the car magazines does a complete road test but it looks promising at this point.

Yes, this video was a good representation of the street tour drive, except for some of the driving goofs mentioned above.
I was already excited before watching this....now I KNOW the I will be getting mine REAL SOON!
