Gotta Hybrid w/Nav at the House

texhybrid · 11-17-2005, 10:24 PM

Well it finally showed up Tuesday. Picked it up that night. I haven't had a chance to take any pictures yet.

Still haven't driven it much yet. Trying to keep it off the road until the bra is installed.

Magnetic Pearl (looks a little more blue than the sample in the brochure)

This Saturday - clear bra install

On order - All-weather mats, trunk mat

In the queue - Window Tint, XM Receiver

Congrats! You'll have to post some pics for sure. I'll go ahead and say it...PLEASE get some pics of the signal mirrors. From all angles. I don't mind begging.

lol what is it with you and your signal mirrors lol...... I am very interested in seeing the hybrib in person.... get some rims tho :)

The wheels are better in person...but I'm still not sold on them. You know...I'd hate to lose that 0.3976291 mpg if I change those out.

Those Honda guys are a hoot. That blue/ivory/gray interior is out there also. That's also better in person.

CameronJr9, attached are a few signal mirror pix. I captured some low quality .avi clips of the driver's mirror actually flashing. PM me if you'd like me to email you some of those. Also let me know if you'd like another set of angles.

This all made me wonder if my clear bra guy was prepared for those signal mirrors. I left him a message...I guess I'll find out in a few hours.

^^^Hey, thanks! Looks great. I'm just trying to compare the size/shape of the mirrors with the other sedans.

Please please please... PLEEEEAAASE don't get an XM receiver! Unless it's a factory type deal, go with Sirius. I've had Sirius since 2002 and I'm in love with it. I listen to XM on my parents Chevy's and ick, honestly I can't stand it. SIRIUS has much better programming, more sports coverage, Howard Stern in 1 month, and SIRIUS was commercial free since the beginning. The only reason SIRIUS lacks in subscribers is because the GM powerhouse is carrying them and XM admitedly has better marketing.

Also, XM satellites' orbits sit on a much lower position on the horizon than SIRIUS's, causing a lot of dropped signals. XM depends heavily on repeaters to boost the signal, which is fine if your in the city, but my parents car drops the signal constantly through the woods and mountains. SIRIUS also has the benefit of repeaters in the cities to keep the signal going, but rarely drops out anywhere else... SIRIUS's satellites shoot more straight down from a higher elevation from over southern Canada instead of across the southern horizon from a lower orbit over Mexico, as with XM. I'll get off my soapbox for now, but you've been warned! XM is inferior, hands down.

OH, and BTW... pimpin ride! Congrats

^^^ Oh man, I laughed my A$$ off at the picture.

Honestly, I have both Sirius and XM. Other than programming differences I find them to perform pretty much the same. I han no dropouts with XM in the mountains at all except in a tunnel. BOTH are good services. Choose based on the programming you like.
