Talking update on the release date!!!

I jus got a phone call from my dealer and he told me that the release date is tomorrow!!! The car will be here tomorrow afternoon or the next morning... He also said that they will release the pricing tomorrow also. So I'll probably pick up my car this weekend or next Monday at the latest. Finally, the wait seems to be over...

I may be going out on a limb her, but I think the official Wholesale date (not sure what that means) is tomorrow. The dealers will not be allowed to deliver the cars until the 15th. Again, I maybe way off on this, but I think that is the way it was explained to me.

Question

What part of the country are you guys from any way? and Which dealers if you are in tri-state area?

Another quick question: Which color would you paint the brake calipers with if you had a black opal exterior?

I just got off the phone again with my dealer. Now the VP of Marketing says Aug. 15 is the official release date. The wholesale date is the day the dealer starts paying for the car. Also, I'm in Florida.
