Ask them to bring it over to Latham, my coworker also drives for Keeler and he likes long trips.

I know they can. Current plan is to go over to Keeler (only 10 minutes from us or so) and check both models out good, then drive them back to back. Can use any they have for that. After that, will probably run over to 155 and check out a few more brands then decide on what she wants. at that point, I can worry about finding the right option!

they all do. Talked to my wife about the update plan earlier, and got past her "but it is spending money" rebuttal by explaining we need to spend some. But we agreed that if we are getting something, it needs to have all the cool features we are missing. The HUD, heated steering wheel, 3D surround cameras. All that stuff.

Yes on the heated steering wheel. I don't know about all the rest of "that stuff." Sounds like unnecessary complications to me!

I was just poking around on the Ford website building my own F150 STX & Mustang GT. I couldn’t believe the destination charges. $2,500 for the F150 and $1,995 for the Mustang.

This is what happens when guys like our poster buddies @oldfarmer50 and @Sandman6472 get pay bumps. No wonder they don’t want to quit.

HUD? meh

I’ve only had it on one car (2012 LaCrosse). It is a nice to have but I’d pick other things before it.

I think it is neat but not a deal breaker. We do want the 360 surround view. That is very handy.

HUD would be fun, heated steering wheel and surround view seem frivolous until you get used to them.

The only options that I wish my C43 had are a HUD and a heated steering wheel.
I wasn't looking for a car with surround view and/or Distronic Plus but now that I've lived with them for a few years I would definitely want them on a newer car.

I'm not big with heated wheels, but my wife loves them, and it's pretty good, if you've been out for a few hours, sitting outside. The surround view is more or less "free", as the blind sides, rear camera, etc, don't add a lot more, so why not!
