New titanium 8
Just got my new 8, titanium. I have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up because it is coming up from Chicago.... Can't wait sweet car. I have heard a lot of good and a lot of bad about 8. Need some opinions on that. I think the car is awesome..

Titanium revision actually produces 125 more hp, is more stable in turns, and has a cloaked turbo-charger (don't let the mechanic lie to you, he doesn't know what he's talking about).

Hahaha! Yeah, I just picked my titanium up 2 days ago! I knew it would be awesome, but it exceeded my expectations. I was relieved to get 20mpg on the first tank!
One thing: Apparently the titaniums also smell like donuts...state police seem to be VERY attracted to them!

Man, you'd better keep your head low if you're going to be complaining about 20mpg. People will start throwing things
I, personally, haven't had too much trouble with it, but some people on here LOVE to bitch about their fuel economy as on some cars it rings in at an exception 12-15mpg.

No kidding! 20mph seems to be on the higher end from the postings I've read. I got mine titanium last week. I was delighted to get 19.6mpg on the very first tank! The next two tanks have also been right at 20mpg. But I think its creeping up a bit as the engine breaks in. It also seems to be breathing a little easier. It feels like I am getting a little more power out of it now. I have about 800 miles so far. Of course, it could be that I am just more willing to up the RPM's now that I have a few more miles! BTW: judging by the brake pedal test, it came with the "L" flash (or better?) from the factory.

20 MPG would be nice... My titanium is only getting about 17 right now. It should have the M code on it at the end of the day and I hope that helps out...
