Thanks, Kacey.
I don't know how I missed that!

Blue leather does look good.

 

Wow, Six exterior colors for US market for 2009 with only two of them being carry-overs from 2008.

Wow. that's a pretty limited range of color choices.
I bet other countries get different colors.

*sniff* no more silver-opal-blue-whatchacallit.

 

Here is a link to pictures of my new '09 I picked up last weekend. I really like the blue/gray interior!

I envy you, mine got to the country a few days ago and has spent the last 5, tooling around the midwest. Some of the cars built after mine also in Japan have arrived and been delivered to customers (some of them mine) all arrived through Portland, OR.
Here's hoping she arrives today with no damage.

 

I didn't realize the other link was a flicker link (early morning posting), it looks great, thanks for sharing those pics with us.

I also see your car came from CA, which'd explain why it got to you first.

 

I'm sure your car will arrive in perfect shape. I test drove mine the same day it arrived at the dealership and it still had all the protective coatings inside and out. It's a lot of plastic!

I really lucked out with mine because the dealer had only received one '09 HCH with leather and it just happened to be the exact car I was looking for. (Early) congratulations on your new car! I had no idea how much fun it would be driving this little guy around.

 

Kind of OT, but mine probably did not deliver in perfect shape. - initial alignments were way out.

In researching/pushing for the rear control arm TSB work to be done last year, I had the dealer run full alignment check and almost all cambers were out of spec following control arm replacement.

Next and every new vehicle I purchase - I will request initial alignment be checked/adjusted before taking delivery.

Still - has been a great car.

 

Hmm. I hadn't heard about alignment/camber problems. Is this a problem with a lot of new deliveries? Did you discover the problem from the get go or was it revealed down the line? My car seems to be driving fine, but I only have 100 miles on it.

 

Did your car come in yesterday?
