Would be great to see a late May or first of June price promo for GLK. Just in time for my delivery.

Good info. Nothing I regret not getting. Powerfolding mirrors with tilting feature is the only thing I would kinda want.

When you look at the ESN # of your Sirius, if only (1) 12-digit number is listed then you do not. There has to be two completely different ESN #'s listed for Traffic.

What do you mean by '- Standard Advance Tire Pressure Monitoring System '? What is the Tire Pressure Monitoring System built in current models?

Advance one shows you the actual pressure number per tire as suppose the ones we have now just tells you "pressure ok" and you can also mistakenly set off pressure as a measuring standard.

Sadly some people on this board just don't get it. I guess we have been over this topic on numerous posts. This is coming from someone who keeps on making high school grammer mistakes (breaks, and other numerous simple errors), and believes he has the most knowledge on vehicle knowledge. NYCGLK your input on what to get and what not to get has no bearing on the vehicle I have ordered. My wife wanted this as a must for her, and I don't mind spending the 1K to get the option, maybe its an issue for you, but wasn't for us. I know you strongly oppose spending the 1K, but I'm sorry to remind you the fact I am buying the vehicle for OUR use not YOURS. Your input in what to get and what not to get would only matter, when it comes to YOUR CAR NOT MINE.

ya, I know. Just trying to point out to NYCGLK that option is a matter of perferrence, just like getting a Mercedes vs his Toyota Matrix...

just because he doesn't see the point doesn't mean its pointless for everyone else. As I've said before, if you have owned a car with KG, its really really hard not to have one. I sometimes borrow my dad's infiniti and just having it one day makes it hard to live without.

I'm kinda regretting not waiting for it but then again, I can just think of the $2k savings I got to make me feel better....

Geez dudes. Take it easy. I don't think it's completely pointless, I just think its benefits are not worth 1k to me, I never said nobody should have/want it. I am sure it's a cool feature and I would've considered getting it if it was available to try it out. I can also see how it can be usefull with kids. I just think it's funny when people say it's a must have cuz I'm gonna have kids, just like some say I'm gonna have kids so I have to get a hummer. Anyways I was just busting his chops and making a joke, sorry if it didn't come out funny.

Btw, I never owned matrix as it was my fiance's so I got stuck driving it after I sold my car.

I've had it on 2 of my BMW's, Mazda6, Nissan Coupe, etc.
