I just got back from picking the car up. I drove 6 miles back to work. First impressions:

- Ridiculous good gas mileage. The scangauge said 53.5 mpg and all I did was set the cruise control to the speed limit.
- CVT definitely likes to keep rpms low.
- A bit more road noise than I'm used to, nothing drastic at all.

Here are some pics. It is a very nice color.
