Spoke to my salesman today and he said two things I thought I would pass on:
1) I ordered my '03 on A plan, and expected to pay the A plan price plus the gas guzzler tax. My salesman said that the gas guzzler tax may be a regional thing - he is gonna check tomorrow morning to see if it applies in this area. Anyone else heard about this? Granted, he does not sell many vehicles that get the tax, so he may be wrong, but its worth checking (and at least he's honest).
2) Contrary to what I've seen on some boards, there is a hold on all '03 production. He said they produced about 65 cars, and found serious hood fitting/clearance problems. They've put the rest on hold, and kept the 65 from being shipped until they correct the hood problems. He was told "two weeks" until it started again.
Just passing on info for everyone's benefit. I can't vouch for it on personal knowledge.
