    You have a brand new 2017 model?

    Is it any different than it was when you gave it your extensive pre purchase test drive?

    Hey now. That was serious.

    So many complaints around here around here about things that aren't broken, but just the way they are. And would have been discovered with a good test drive.

    Too many seem dazzled with the new vehicle smell and geewhiz digital toys to pay attention to the big stuff.

    I would agree. And your brain also needs time to re-set as well. When I sold my John cooper Works for my Diesel Jetta i remember thinking “man this thing is slow” but now I think the truck is slow compared to the Jetta. The human element is an adaptive one and it also takes time to reset the baseline.

    this must be a Generational thing cause I didn't feel as if Clearwaters comment was that biting at all in fact it was common sensical in a humorous way.

    Please dont take that the wrong way. I was trying to put my own spin of humor on it, and it failed miserably. My apologies.
