Arc / Vector Report

I just saw the Arcs & Vectors on the West Coast (put money down on an Arc). Some impressions for those who have only seen the Linear with the launch package.
Interior: My 1st & 2nd impressions of the Linear were that the interior looked cheap and plasticy. The Linear I had seen had the "Parchment" interior which looked kind of yellow and exentuated the black plastic look. IMO the gray interior complements the black trim much better. The extra leather and minor trim ehancements make the Arc/Vector interior look well in line with Audi & BMW (I think nicer than the Audi 1.8). Vector seats have contrasting leather inserts in the seat - not crazy about this but does not detract overly. Vector steering wheel has shift paddles.
Engine: Power on the Linear was OK. The extra horsepower on the Arc/Vector make the car more fun to drive and provides a little extra saftey margin (nice to have it when you need it).
Stereo: The 300 watt stereo sounds significantly better than the Linear
Exterior: Vector has some minor eyecandy (exhaust, air dam, etc.) but nothing major.
Although the differences are small, they add up. I am very glad I waited for the Arc. Went for steel gray metallic / gray interior, all options except the sport wheel package.
