Thanks to all those who helped me understand the leasing process.

This thing has more gizmos than I know what to do with (Driver's Package). The only thing even slightly negative that I can say about it at this point is that the stereo (Infotainment) is not as nice as the Harman Kardon stereo I have in the 9-5. I can work on that though. Oh, and the leather is not as nice as the leather in the 9-5.

On the plus side, this thing is MUCH more buttoned down than the 9-5. I'm glad I got the Arc and not an Aero, I don't know if I would have been able to deal with a firmer suspension, after floating around in my 9-5 for the last couple years. It also has more power, although I have yet to wring it out-want to break it in first before I rev too much or anything.

I have never had a new-new car before (actually my parents only had one brand-new one when I was a kid, too; an '87 Ford Tore-ass), and needless to say, this is an amazing ride.

I'm sure I'll be posting on this board more, now that I am moving from the 9-5 to the 9-3.

BTW, nothing negative could phase me at work today, I was too giddy :)
