If ya have to ask, ya don't want to know. Might cause you use your executive powers of Post-Deletion.

BTW dubbs, the new Kawasaki Concours gives me the same feeling.

I'm sure it will be stunning, Bill. The inside living area has a nice layout, also. What was it that attracted you to the foreward galley plan - other than that huge 37" LCD TV?

I think the "butterscotch" color instead of the yellow is the main reason why I don't like the outside ...and I am hoping that the Bahama inside is nicer color combination that is shown...those just aren't in my color palette

...and Bama ...thanks for explaining Kev's post...I could not think of a nice way to explain.
I know SacsTC and I thought about the front galley floorplan also... no traipsing groceries through the living room area - or carrying a raw juicy steak through it taking it to the BBQ

haha - it is a cartoon sound affect from those real old cartoons (from the '70s) that showed when Bugs or the Coyote had an abnormal affection towards something

Oops! Oh well, even if you don't have to ask.....


On a another note, the price tags on these coaches makes me dizzy. I guess working in the civil service ranks for so long and seeing a tag that would take three year's salary BEFORE taxes makes me cringe. I have been shopping around (half-heartedly) for a 3-5 year old Exe or Sig. Even then there are three significant figures before the comma in the price.

Robin,

We have been shopping this for the past year and half. We love the forward kitchen with full tile all the way back to the BR - in our opinion when loading up the kitchen you don't have to pass through the living area and it just gave us the impression of "more living space". We also locked on having the TV down at floor level (fireplace a plus) - I'm tired of looking up to see TV. As far as interior color goes we went with the SILHOUETTE - love the black counter tops/table and head board - paired with the Cherry cabinets. About the only option we left off was the solar panels - seeing how we sold our house my wife gets what she wants on this one - I'll just play with the GPS -

Bill,

Sounds great. I'll bet the waiting is hard.

Yeah waiting is always hard. We know that once we get the new coach and work out the initial bugs we will be hitting the road - hopefully Christmas in Florida and then where ever....

I stopped at my dealer's lot this afternoon and they had the 08's on display.

Knights, Diplomats, and Camelots all in a row and looking pretty.

Pretty window stickers too.
