I got mine today - 10 months wait...

I just picked up my yellow/black passion this afternoon. Drove it back to Columbia via 77s, and I gotta say, it was the third-most comfortable car I have had in 20 years! (and with my bad back, that is saying something!). Held 75 most of the way, couple of hills that it dropped speed on me, but otherwise, wonderful!
Looking forward to many happy miles in it (and the reception tomorrow at work, when all my colleagues, who have been asking lots of questions over the last 10 months, get to finally see it too!)

Congrats and welcome to the "family"

Put an armrest in it - you'll be even MORE happy with it. I just did that and it does make a difference.

Mine is Yellow and Black also, people at my dealership said Yellow was very popular. Surprised me, figured Blue and silver would be tops.

Congratulations on new vehicle

Yeah, with yellow/black being popular, makes you wonder why they are discontinuing it...

As to the arm-rest, I am looking seriously at that as my first aftermarket purchase. The second is going to be cruise control...

Glad you got your car!!! Seems yellow/black is popular. But at the first meet n' greet, mine was the only yellow one there! I found that the seats are very comfy too. have fun and hoping to see you on the road trip.

Congrats on the car! I hope mine will be 10 months, but I seriously doubt it. 11 more months and counting...

Once again, congratulations!
