1) Sick of all the back and forth nonsense about powerplants...and it seems pretty clear that all it will get is a very modest HP increase (which I can easily do to a GT);

2) It sounds like the cosmetic changes are going to be minimal;

3) Generally I like DHG, but in the few pics where I've seen it on the S197 body style I haven't found it flattering at all.

4) Ever since first seeing the GT in Redfire, I've loved the car in that color - every time I see one on the road, all polished up, I do a double-take;

5) I'm tired of waiting and all the options I wanted are finally here (like NAV) so I'm going to go for it now because this is the last year for Redfire.

Sounds like the redfire GT is a car you will like, so can't wait to see pics of it once you get it!

That's an implicitly ironic comment.

Where have you BEEN the past year...?
