I was letting myself get more concerned than was reasonable over this issue (probably mostly just because I couldn't seem to find any pictures anywhere, only negative descriptions), so I greatly appreciated your posting. I couldn't actually look at your pictures for a while, because for
some reason, NAmotoring won't let non-registered users
look at pictures referenced in threads, but your comments were reassuring, and now that I've registered over there, I see that it does indeed not look half bad. Then I lost internet access at home for a couple days... but never mind that.
It's hard to say what I'd have picked now that I know the Configurator is a lying son-of-a-goat, but "thankfully" such decisions are out of my hands.

I began so full of willpower, but I could only stand firm for so long, and had already upgraded the sound-system and indicator lights and seats by the time it mercifully switched to "scheduled for production,"
