Went to the dealer this am regarding my bumper issue and they were very fair. They will be checking with the local Schneider's (whom I've used before and were good) to arrange for a rental, an to check Schneider's current workload to hold the car in as little time as possible. The bumper will be repainted. It's a shame a new car has to already be repainted...no owner likes to think of having nothing as original but honestly, I can't fault them for not noticing the ripples in the bumper paint when I wouldn't have even noticed it had I not been under a canopy and filling my gas tank at the same time. When it's under those conditions where the light is not shining on the bumper, it's very easy to see.
I continue to enjoy the car and have familiarized myself with all the technology inside (which I appreciate). Couple of things I still can't quite figure out (like why the previous destinations window pop up comes up every time I view the nav map that I'd like not to happen). All in all, it's a smooth riding, quiet car with a unique look. Any potential regrets? Perhaps...I saw the Empire State Gray color with Black interior this morning at the dealer on a 3.8. If they had that in a 5.0 I would have been very tempted. I much prefer the consistent metallic in that gray color (like a silver sheen) over the blacks Christmas-tree like metallic colors in the paint. That said, I've also received a number of compliments of the metallic colors in the black where that is some people's preference. It's a fun car to drive and I'm hoping to take it on a longer trip soon where I can appreciate all it has to offer.
