Default New GS!

Picked up the GS this week. Spent yesterday detailing with C-Magic, hooking up DIY NPP toggle switch, installing Escort 8500x50 with smart cord, etc.

1st impressions after 250 miles: Build quality inside and out is superb; don't see any issues with the interior. Nice leather, improved console trim and detail (compared to my C5), and power that is awesome. The A6 trans is really fun in S mode with the paddles.

I'm not much of a photographer but here are a few pics.

Thanks for all the postive comments. This forum has been my best source for info over the last 3 months while waiting for my car to be built. I already knew all about the C6, NPP, radar dect wiring any many other things long before the delivery. Thank you all for the wealth of knowlege you share.

Still waiting on the APSIS front guards (ordered today) and a module so my Marentec garage door opener will work.

Beautiful ride!
