They are passing through a $7500 lease credit on the i4 35 and iX which helps the lease a lot (keeping up with the competitors)

The NYT The Daily had what I guess was the reading of an article on Musk and his approach to risk, primarily vis-Avis Tesla. Pretty interesting. It only reinforces my opinion of him.

It’s worth a test drive, no? And, the hatch is super handy…Plus, I’d imagine (and have read) the handling is better.

Edit: Plus, maybe the steering wheel would stay on…

Got a loaner today, Arteon. I didn't know it was such a large car, thought it was a A8 when I first walked up to it. It is actually pretty nice cruiser car.

Supposed to hear about the buyback towards the end of this week so things are finally moving

That is a crisp, colored logo it projects on the ground.

I know nearly nothing about about that car. Didn't know it was a 5-door. Seems nice. Glad you at least got a loaner!
