Tah Dah . . . In squat mode with the factory Pirellis. As soon as I get the 275/55s on, I will repost. AND OUT IN THE SUN! Needless to say, the drive home in this beast was SPECIAL! You could pretty much say it was worth the wait if they would have set a 9 month special order expectation to begin with. I will also try to provide a little better review as I (if I?) get more miles in the saddle. My wife was first embarrassed because it had the big red bow on top (sorry missed that pic) with the Congratulations to both of us on the LED Wall Display with a bunch of the dealer folks standing around applauding as we walked into the room combined with just how nice it is. Terri is a tad more conservative than I am and often doesn't feel deserving of really nice things. After going on 25 years, I think she's finally coming around . . .

I love the interior choice. We went black due to the kids. But I have ivory in my jag and it's beautiful!

This is that Glacier Gray, kind of a puddy color [??], and I'm loving it a little more all the time. The white is classy but out here on the farm would have been a mistake. Plus, when I get some sun picks, with that gloss blackened oak trim, it just REALLY pops. After all the driving around in town before I left to come home, I had 28.7mpg on the display when I pulled in out here so [as usual] this is going to do WAY better than the 26mpg rating on the H/W. I don't understand why they keep shooting themselves in the foot with these extremely conservative mpg ratings on diesels. Every single one from our first Touareg, to my Cayenne, the Q5, and now this Disco have ALL done way better than advertised yet we always have struggled to even get the mpg ratings for gas vehicles.

So far, so good. Our first with this feature, the wife got home tonight and thought it was SO COOL that it knows to shut off your bright lights for you
