hey did you guys notice that there isn't a disclaimer saying the pictures aren't production anymore?
THESE ARE THE REAL THINGS.
what this also means is that the stupid digital spedometer won't get changed

Wow, the front looks amazing! Me like!!!
As for the digital speedo...apparently they're changing it for next year. Does that mean this one will be more of a collectors item in 10-15 years?

Changing the digital speedo to an analog speedo? After only one year? That doesn't make much sense to me, especially since this a car that has been reworked from the ground up. If they were going to change from digital to analog after only one year, why not just make it analog to begin with?

Not entirely a bad thing, but not my ideal setup.

Maybe they already finalized the guage clusters and they are already in production???
No worries, I can live with the digital speedo...those new mirrors on the other hand
Must have been designed by the same guy! That's okay, I planned on getting black anyways.

I agree about the mirrors. All in all, this is one sexy car and I'm really happy it seems like we finally know what to expect come june/july.
The mirrors... ugh.
But about the digi speedo, I had one in a 91 chrysler new yorker and have one in a 2001 grand prix (in the heads up display) and I must admit, I kinda like it. I hate digital watches (all about the chrono) but sometimes when you are racing along its nice to be able to look down and not have to look twice to see how fast you really are going (cause its going to be fast).
