So I mentioned that BMC in San Francisco had offered me a car significantly earlier than the original April that I had been told, but that I had turned the offer down because I didn’t have parking for both it and my Mustang. Well, the wife and I talked it over and we decided that we could deal with the parking headache temporarily after all and that I could go ahead and get the car if it was still available. So I called the salesperson up and left a message and, well, it looks like I’m going to be one of the first people in the U.S. to own an Exige!
Since there was some question here about the track and touring packs being available together on the U.S. model, I asked if the car did in fact have both and was told that it did. I’ll be happy to call him back and press the point (“Hey, the guys over in Europe tell me that they can’t have both”), if there is interest in my doing so.
Of course, I’m even more excited now! The next move is for me to call on Jan 16th when I return from my honeymoon and find out when the car will be available.
