I have not seen this color before and the combination looked brighter than the color sample panels. Drive is amazing. Even on eco mode, the pick up and getting up to 130+ was a breeze. Can't wait for it to arrive stateside. Likely 4-6 weeks.

The power and drive were amazing. Great road handling. A lot of gizmo. Reverse assistant worked like a charm. Did not try the autonomous drive. Need more time to drive and get used to all the functions. Display key is nice but too big to carry around. Comes with an nfc key card and also can use smartphone as a key.

I was not much impressed with internet and catalog pictures...but then I saw it in person at my local dealership...I loved everything about it. Doesn't look that big as it seems in pictures. I loved 6 coupe and now this is even better looking.
Btw..convertible looks really good too. The canvas roof lines are v smooth unlike outgoing 6 convertible.
