I ordered it on 1/31, and this dealer received an allocation in mid-March, and it went into production (150) the week before last.

Not that anyone here really cares aside from me, but M/V SALOME will be at the Port of Baltimore tomorrow — very much looking forward to this thing working its way through customs and VPC, and hope it gets to the dealer quickly! :-)

My vehicle showed up at the dealer today, but is not prepped and is still in transport mode. Here are some pictures and the Monroney sticker. (Note that the suspension spacers are still in also, making the car sit higher.)
