Doody,
Must be the cars I saw. Executive = LWB, as you surmise. Finish is definetly on par with MB, actually feels much better. Of course, this is a showcar, plus I didn't sit for very long.

Adam I agree I saw the car last week and was amazed. This is the best sedan in the 100,000 range.
They did say that it was sold out for the first year.
I would love to buy one of these eafter a couple or years of them depreciating. They are also going to offer 4 year 50,000 mile warranty. |

"sport" -vs- "executive" --- can you elaborate?
is the latter the long wheelbase with the fridge and whatnot in the back? or is there something about suspension and engine mods and whatnot re: the former?
are you gonna make this like pulling teeth for us?
