News from Nemacolin re: '07's?

There is a press preview of Acura models going on from the 16th - 19th at Nemacolin, PA to introduce the 2007 Acura lineup. Anyone hear anything yet? Surely news and pix will leak out ...

The new cheaper base 07 RL will not have Navi, active headlights, or wood.

from vtec.net

RL
New for 2007, the RL now comes equipped with an available rearview camera, plus standard MP3 auxiliary jack and passenger seatbelt reminder. Additionally, two new trim packages are available:

2007 RL with Technology Package: in addition to the standard features, new package adds Acura satellite navigation system, AcuraLink™ with real time traffic, rearview camera, Active Front Lighting and upgraded wood interior

2007 RL with Technology Package plus CMBS/PAX tires: new package adds the Collision Mitigation Braking System and PAX Run-flat tires to the Technology Package

Additional changes for 2007:

New exterior color Platinum Silver replaces Celestial Silver and Meteor Silver

I would be suprised if Acura doesn't implement some of the technologies/features that exist in the GS & M (i.e.: push button start, 18" rims that do not require the tech package, etc.). Acura must do something for the '07's that address the poor residual value. Soon Acura may be referred to as the 'Jaguar from the Orient'.

I hate the push button... its not a single push, its a double push, and the knob doubles as the backup with a key ignition.

Nemacolin Springs is a beautiful golf resort area in the Laurel Mountains about an hour's drive on the PA Turnpike, due east of Pittsburgh.

Yeah, but the push button in the GS/IS don't require you to double push.
