LOL....why, yes it is!

Thanks for the comments, gang. It's an awesome machine...I peek in the garage too often, not believing that it's finally here. My wife suggested that I sleep out there the first night...

The great thing about the CL is that you really could live in it. The seats are better than any sofa I know, you can watch TV/DVD in surround sound, have some talks on the telephone, get a chilled drink from the built-in fridge...

So true....

But we don't have fridges in US-spec CLs....

Actually, given how obese are most people in US, would argue CLs need larger cupholders and a fridge/fast food tray....continual caloric intake is needed to stay obese...
