Ordered one back in September '12 with the option not having to take it if no likey...well, what can I say...dealer called me beginning of March that it has arrived. After seeing it I fell in love (sorry guys, this after criticising bits and pieces of it)

Autobiography 4.4 in santorini with almond interior and espresso dashboard, figured macassar

22 inch style 6 wheels

No tinted windows but solar attenuating glass

Electrically deployable tow bar

Blind spot monitor, closing vehicle sensing and reverse traffic detection.

Bright pedals

Got an excellent deal so decided to get married! Just done my first 1000KM, mostly highway and it is absolutely stunning, engine is great and build quality is definitely a notch up! (for me anyway since coming from a L322, 3.6). The official figures of 30mpg can't be right, looks like it's way less. Will need to check this out more accurately. With the 3.6 I've done approximately 760KM and with the 4.4 around 800KM. What's the size difference of the tank, anybody knows?

Will take some pics as soon I have time and weather permitting..

With the solar attenuating glass do you still get the heated front screen? With the L322 i remember that you could not have this and a heated screen.

5.0, the front heated screen button is there so I guess it is..., haven't used it it, guess it needs to wait until next year

Will check tomorrow and let you know!

5.0, the front windscreen it's definitely heated!. Also, the new model does not have that purplish colour anymore but it's kind of oily and depending from the angle (and light) you're looking you can't really see inside...

Hope this helps!
