Well, talk about coincidences. Just as I said I dare not disturb my SE for updates, she updates me instead - confirming a Jan 2012 production date car, with EDD late March. In her own words, anything earlier will be a bonus hahaha.
I was kinda worried that mine would be an end Dec 2011 production car, and I think my SE knew that as well, so she was very happy to learn that my car has been slated as a MY (Manufacture Year) 2012 vehicle.
Of course, with this info I hantum her and asked why couldn't I upgrade since the car is not being made yet, but she said because the components and parts have all been locked in and the contract firmed, so no further changes are allowed. Suck thumb like dat...
