Congrats.
So how long it's going to take to be built and delivered ? I ordered mine in the middle of July - they said end of October/begining of November delivery.
Can they do it faster ?

Looks like a great configuration, congrats, and enjoy the wait. Most of us spent our time in the waiting room reading the on-line manual and feature videos.

It may come faster. My 2015 GL was built in the second week of July and it came the first week of August. Keep your fingers crossed.

Auburn Brown Leather
Open Pore Brown Ash Trim
Premium 1
Appearance Pkg
Lighting Pkg
H/C sound
Parking Assist Pkg
Lane Tracking
Heated SW
Pano Sunroof
Heated/Ventilated Seats
Multi-contour Seats
Trailer Hitch
Easy Entry
MSRP: $81,195
Sales Price: $75,900
