I'm so tempted everyday! The first one, white Limited, arrived in town last week off the barge. So I went right out to take a look before they had it cleaned up and all. All I can say is huge.

How do you calculate the tipping point where the overall savings in price off sets the poor mileage over the years of ownership?

I still hold out hope for a diesel, yes it is more expensive, but that is a refining issue now. If more vehicles were diesel vs gas, one would expect lower pump prices. I'm skeptical about hybrid technology in a vehicle of this size, but the jury is still out, we'll see.
