My only wish after all this is that it just comes with MPSS and not Contis. That said, getting the 3 piece rear seats would be a nice bonus on top of that.

I must have missed something - do we have reason to believe that US market LCIs will have 3 piece rear seats? That would be neat.

Re: 3-piece seats -- what Tag said.
The middle section folds down and has additional cupholders in it too. Very handy, and not available in the US but standard equipment in Canada... maybe because of hockey sticks? I had asked my dealership if there was any way I could special order that seat option, since it obviously exists in the production line, but they told me "there wass no way." Was joking that maybe they got the seat order through magically and that caused the delay for me.

Looks fantastic Aerosoul Bastard. The more I see it, the more I like BSM. I have a very similar colour on my current car, and it looks great, but it is a pain to keep looking that way.
I'm probably still going to be just as obsessive with LBB, but I'm second guessing my colour choice now. BSM is, in my opinion, way better than MG and AW. Also... not fair that you got yours already, while we still have to wait weeks (nearly 6 weeks in my case!) for ours...

Thalatta is in the dock at Bremerhaven, loading now!
It's the red boat at the back of the shot by the way.

I think we've all gone through this. I know I've vacillate between LBB, MG and BSM a bunch. Last week I was thinking I should have gotten LBB, the week before I was thinking I should have gotten BSM. This week I'm feeling MG, which is the color I went with.

I believe if my car was released from the plant on Tuesday then I have a good chance of getting on the thallatta?

Just got word that my car has finally made it to Bremerhaven and is waiting to be assigned. Guess that typically takes a week. I'm interesting to see if it has to wait that long or if gets assigned to a vessel sooner since it lost a week waiting at the factory.
Who's already on a ship and what was your production completion date? |

As I've mentioned before Tag, it's not sequential. I really have no idea why some cars seem to get from Munich to on-a-boat in 4 or 5 days, while others (like mine & yours) take much longer. There is a week 34 (and, I think, a week 35) on a boat (Torino) that just docked at Port Hueneme today, and I'm a week 33 on a boat (Fedora) that is not due there for another 10 days. So I think your car is behaving like mine did. Took a long time to get to port, and missed the 1st available boat (that, somehow, week 34 and week 35 cars were able to get on). My production complete was Aug 18. Got to port about 5 days later. Got on a boat on 9/1. I wonder if the fact that my production complete was on a Friday explains why it sat around in Munich for a while? What day of the week did yours reach production complete? |

My car was released last week Tuesday, and arrived to port Saturday. It's not the release date that matters, more the arrival date at port, and the day it actually takes the train.

I don't know if mine has even made it there yet, when I called auto-genius today it was still "ready for transport"... but that's also behind.

Same here, the automated system still says it's being transported. I called the Genius to get the latest info and they told me it had already arrived in Bremerhaven and is in queue for a ship. I'm sure yours arrived at the same time.
