Arrow Re: First real-world mileage tests

Hehe, I had to get revenge and beat you by buying first... since you beat me to write the first test-drive review. Grrrrrr.

I've talked to EVERY dealer (fleet manager) in San Diego, LA, Orange, Riverside, and Imperial counties. Believe it or not, there ARE a good supply of cars coming. I found numerous dealers who felt they could get me a car equipped my way, in just a week or two.

It was amazing, though, at the dealership tonight. There were various customers who were literally *begging* me NOT to buy my new TCH, so that they COULD buy it! One guy was saying he'd give me thousands over what I paid for it. Sheesh! It's just not that hard to find these cars, despite the hype and threats that dealers are trying to insinuate. People are buying into this mythical feeding-frenzy, and some dealers here are loving every minute of it.

And yes, the NAV has a very cool display that tracks the last 30 minutes of mileage, in increments. It also gives you "Best Average" and your current average trip.

Hurry up and get your car!
