Sorry for the poor picture quality....Took it with my cell phone....Here she is!!!

The wait was far too long! LOL

Now to wash her up (she got dirty because it rained on the weekend) and take some nice pictures.

Cheers!

Nice Chad, very nice.

How do you like the interior/exterior color combo? I really like the red with the cocoa/cashmere.

Thanks Folks...

Pizza Man....Actually I opted for the ebony interior....black with grey accents....love it!!! Find it is easier to keep clean.

Lee - Unforunately I was on a mini holiday from Thursday to Sunday and I am still recovering from two parties this weekend...needless to say I didn't drive it much for fear of the consequences. LOL

I didn't have a choice of interior colors. Must be something new with the '09s. You can't go wrong with black. Best wishes with your new ride. :)

You're thinking LTZ.

Pizza Man....I think further to Lee's comment....only the LTZ had one colour option for the interior. Being that I have the 2LT I had a few more choices.

Thanks everyone

It's funny, I never considered any other trim level. So, I know very little about the differences between them. I'm happy with what we have and the wife is elated. I washed it for her yesterday and she's beaming. The wife and the 'Bu, that is. ;):)

congrats on your 09... is there any difference between the 08's and 09's? other then year.

Candybar - Yeah a few but nothing too major (although some may consider them major).

First - The side marker light is gone (the turn signal located on the front fenders has been removed)

Second - The adjustable pedals are no longer available even as an option. Not to major of a deal as the telescoping steering wheel is still standard.

Other than that nothing else that I have noticed.

DOA, you forgot the reason why you waited for an 09, Bluetooth!

DOA-

Can I ask how long it took -realizing that you are in Canada- from order to delivery? TIA

CYKEDLC - Place my order on June 15th, I received my build day information on July 28th, and took delivery on August 15, 2008. I am thinking that for most americans it takes a few days less. As once it crosess the boarder here into Canada another hauling company than takes over the delivery in Canada.

Does this help?
