It's at the dealer!

Just got a call from the dealer - it landed today and I can pick it up in the morning. Cactus grey XLT, sunroof, copilot360. Ordered it when the banks opened 7/19, built 12/23, took just under 2 weeks to get from Hermosillo to San Diego.
Looking forward to a nice drive out to the desert this weekend.

Picked it up this morning! Just under 6 months, so not bad compared to some of you.
First thoughts after driving 30 miles home.from the dealer:
-The painted wheels (XLT, not lux) go really well with the cactus gray, and the cactus gray looks good. I originally wanted Area 51, but I am happy with this.
-The sunroof is narrower than I expected - definitely narrower than the ones on my Honda CRV and old Outback. Not horrible, but noticeable.
-Dealer experience was so/so; about as expected.I had to say "no" like 3 times for the $4800 extended service, and I did let them put on the door guards for $500 (worth $29, but still cheaper than the ADM had I bought off the lot). It probably helped that I knew the salesman from when his son was in my scout troop.
Will keep you posted as I learn more.

ETA:
Dealer prep could've been better. I got the "low windshield washer fluid" warning just after I got home, and the tires are a bit over inflated.
But otherwise liking it so far.
