    Too wide, left arm rest?

    HAHA. Same here. When you're 6'4" and 230 there really is no problem. especially coming from a Saturn Vue where my legs wouldn't fit in the car very well and I had no room to do anything.

    You must not have a wife who likes to push it as close to 0 as possible so that you have to fill it up when you get in to drive it. hahahaha

    New owner with Nav question

    If it makes you feel better, the nav system can be off by as much as 2 to 3 blocks. My iphone is very very accurate so I'll probably end up just using it.

    Security system

    Hey all, I'm kinda worried about the new X not having a security system other than an engine disabler.

    Price protection or incentive protection??

    I can tell you that when I picked up my X last night, they told me that a $500 incentive I had would not be honored but then they gave me another rebate for $750. Im sure it was the brochure rebate which I didn't have but they wanted to honor since they had to take the $500 away from us. Im sure...
