It is indeed a beauty! And it's been the most reliable car I've ever owned. 5+ years in my stable and hasn't spent a single day in a shop. The longest was when I left it for an alignment, which was completed same day. It's had a couple of hick ups, but I've been able to do the repairs at home. It's remarkably easy to work on, lots of room to get to every component.

Meanwhile in the 10 years I've had the 3.8 it's left me stranded twice, the first time with a coolant rubber hose popping and the second with the intake flap breaking, necessitating a full engine rebuild...
