So, after seeing the cornfield commercial, I knew that is what I wanted. Unfortunately at the time, I was going back to college and money was tight. This spring however, I had a good job for 8 months and decided it was time. So in March, I started looking for an 05' No luck in finding what I wanted and the dealer I went to recommended waiting til I could order an 06'
So June comes around and I start looking for an X-Plan dealer. Of course initially I was unsuccessful in trying to get a GT with X-plan. So I email a good dozen dealerships and found 2 actually.

June 18th-order placed
After much explanation and back and forth emails, I was able to get my DORA and VOC on July 1st. At that time I asked for an eta and was told "Oh I saw October 11 on our sheet." whatever that was.

August 8th, They start building so I again contact my dealer girl, (they are about 1 hr from me). That Friday (12th), I was told it was still C/U. So at this point I was settled in for a long wait.

August 22nd. Sales girl calls and says "Merry Christmas, your car is on my lot. (ME=> :shock: ) And so begins the longest week of my life. Immediately I contact my bank and insurance that day. Apply for a loan online, get it approved and they will mail out the forms that day. Insurance will send me the temporary tags. Friday night, before I go home to pick up my car, the loan comes in the mail and I am all set.

9am Saturday the 27th comes and I am at the dealer door. My baby is in the garage and ready to go. Let me tell you I am hooked. Unbelievable! My sales girl says that it came in on Friday the 19th but she wanted to make sure everything was ok and let the service department have a look at it. 100% AOK.

The cool thing is she told me that 2 days before I ordered my car. A guy ordered an 05'. He is still waiting. Poor guy and he already saw my car in the lot. Dealer said that the reason I got my soon was probably because I was on the X-Plan. WOW being rewarded and saving money.

So here she is. I got pics with the car half in the shade so you all can compare the color in the sun and out of it.

ENJOY I know I am!!

Are your mirrors painted body color? They look more like the body color than black in the pictures. Maybe it's just the light. I assume '06's still have black side mirrors...?

yeah side mirrors are still black. Just the bright sunlight. I do not care what anyone says about tungsten, or the different color bumper. I love it. Thanks for all the nanners!

That's very odd the ERL said C&U on the 12th but it showed up at the dealer on the 19th. Wonder if you got someone elses with the same options?

If you call the ERL now, what does it say?

I am pretty sure it is mine. The VIN matches and the window sticker has my name on it. I did not call the ERL so my salesperson probably just was not sure what she was doing.
