The grey one is really nice. We went and looked at it while waiting on ours to come. All of the drivetrain malfunctions I believe have been on the 8 cylinders not the 6’s.

Okay man! Good to hear positive review from you. Would you mind sharing your final deal with them? If I like the grey one, I am going to seal the deal.

If you plan on the forest roads I would recommend you get the off-road package so you can get the extra ground clearance.

You do not need off road package to get extra clearance, just add option 2VR - 2 axile air suspension for $1,000 compare to ZOR - $3,950.

However, the off-road package does add the skid plates and, more importantly, the M-Differential. Plus of course, all those software modes.

I just used the UK configurator and was able to build out a Sunstone with Drivers Assistant Package and was not told to change the color.

It makes no sense why the cars are all built in the US and they have completely different results.

Drives me crazy!

Love sunstone but this is just ludicrous on the assistant package. Hope 2020 model addresses this.

AT OP.

are the skid plates something that is only visible when you put the car on the lift?

I assume the body is still the same X-line .

I notice them a little when approaching from the front of the vehicle. I don't mind it.

I had to adjust the brightness to show you what it looks like.

Got it so it is really really underneath. I wasn't sure if the configurator was completely off and the whole body / bumpers would be completely different.

I like the idea of having the package but after looking it the car will never be off the street except for a field/ lot for parking .

Seems like the air suspension is enough.

Did you get all terrain tires as part of the package or the Standard run flats

Thanks for your time

I got the standard all weather run flats. I don't think I had an option when I built mine.
