Default Traded in my 2006 xB for a 2012 Release 9.0

I may be alone here but, I feel the gap between stock xB and Release series is smaller every year, starting with the new body style. Regardless, I always wanted an orange car. I love it. Mine is 802 of 1500. I will post better pics when I work less than 60 hours a week and, the sun shines. It has been raining every day here in Atlanta since I bought the car.

I really like the Hot Lava. Seems odd, they didn't go with an R.S. wheel for them. Same ol' plastic wheel covers? Come on, man!

Thanks! It was my marketing answer when I agreed to get paid 200 bucks for hour interview back in 2006. "So Andrea, if you were able to pick any color to paint a car? What color would it be?"

My reply: "ORANGE!! Not the Chevy Cavalier orange; like a metallic orange but brighter" Next year comes around and sure enough I see the 2008 RS 1.0 xD is that metallic orange that I was explaining...

There's RS 9 at the dealership and I'm all ready to buy a xB this Thursday; I may actually jump on it. Bye bye; "World's Highest Mileage" tC.

GL with it...

#382 here, just got ours tonight.

Dealer is waiting on Navigation to come in, doing that, plus illuminated door sills and remote start. (wife's car)

She really missed her 2005 XB after she traded it in a VW Convertible beetle.

Yep, just picked up #885.

It rides so much better than the tC.

It's funny when it was sitting in the showroom and we were waiting for the salesperson drive it out: we couldn't find the AUX-USB jacks. We looked everywhere and I didn't wanna open the manual since it was wrapped. Eventually, pull up this shelf plastic piece in the arm rest and it popped up.
