Yeah, it is pretty fast (0-100kph in under 6 seconds). It doesn't FEEL fast as it is more luxury sedan than race car. The stick is great but it is hard to drive smoothly (still getting used to it) as the clutch is very soft and engages higher than I am used to. Also, it is FWD so I can feel the LSD fight torque steer under hard acceleration in corners, but it really isn't as bad as some magazine reviewers make it out to be. I also find that the stability control system is too conservative. I have yet to test the limits of the car as I have had it for less than a week, but I can feel the stability control kick in when going around long sweeping turns (ie exit ramps). The Navigation, DVD Audio sound system, voice command system and Bluetooth integration are really, really cool. I have showed these features to a quite a few people and they all could not believe how high-tech the car is. I'll take better pics over the weekend if time permits.

Thumbs up

Oh yeah, notice my license plate! (no we cannot obtain vanity plates in Quebec)

Also, posted pics of the dash when the Bluetooth and Handsfree Voice Command are in use for Shyylo (last picture).

You can get a toll free number for your place. My parents got one for their house. That way I can call them from here and i won't get billed for a long distance call.

The 1888 number was just to demonstrate the functionality of the Bluetooth integration. I picked the number arbitrarily.
