Cameras are useful but look ugly!
Is the 2005 XM wart back?

I will not be pulling into the kind of parking spaces where park assist is of any value. Having ordered a 2015, I am hoping there are no options that will make me regret getting a 15 and so far so good.

Hope that is a stand alone option and not thrown into the 2 or 3 series option package. They look like poorly placed aftermarket add on sticking out like they do.

Do not want.
Yellow is definitely more...Easter... In sunlight. Not sure how I feel about it.
Flat bottom wheel is cool, I would've like that.

Why does everything we buy now(TVs, cell phones, cars, etc) have to come with a damn video camera?

Exactly what I was thinking. If someone wants them as an OPTION, then fine. They serve a purpose, but for some more than others. I would hate to have to pay extra for fugly. They do have an "Ebay" look to them.

Something seems off about that yellow but I can't put my finger on it.

Glad I didn't wait for a 16!
Camera is a good idea but the implementation is poor. Couldn't they have hidden it behind the grill or make it smaller?
Would love to see a side by side of VY and the new one in the same light.

So far I'm hearing the following changes in the '16's:
* a few new colors
* 2 tone seats
* 2 cameras in the grill
* a flat bottomed suede covered steering wheels
* reduced warrant period.... oops, my bad... meant to say reduced warranty mileage.
Anyone know of anything else new?

*New wheel options - I am ordering a 16.
no colors that would change my order, like the 2 tone int. option, but need to see it. 2 cameras in the grill is 2 too many IMO. like the flat bottom steering wheel very much, warranty, at least for me means nothing as I will hit the year duration way before the mile limits.

Congrats to Mike Davenport for the videos. He's climbed over the 2 forum salesmen who are at the Bash and have reported nothing.
Way to go Mike!!! (Davenport that is!!!)
