There's also floor illumination, but it's very subtle, just enough light to see your shoes, and which pedals to press. ;-)

The ambient lighting looks amber, I thought it would be blue?

Negative Jeffe! That's my Dewalt lamp trying to illuminate the interior for my BS iPhone pic. The stock lights are bright white LED's in the overhead, with the little blue lights accenting the center console like the 3G did, repeated also on your tootsies!

I think it keeps the driver/passenger climate settings "synced."

The Sync button makes the passenger side climate settings the same as the driver side.

Yup, synced. Also, in SETUP you have the choice of colors for map display and background colors.

I wish they gave us the choice of wood trim instead of the nice faux aluminum.

It's not fake, but it's not solid metal either.

The Technology Package also features a new 3D metallic trim applied to the instrument panel and doors of the TL. Constructed via Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology, the trim makes use of a lightweight plastic base covered by a thin layer of textured metal film applied on the top. The trim looks and feels as if it was constructed entirely of metal, but is lighter weight, it can be easily formed to contour tight curves or odd shapes and it won't dent like metal.

Cool. Maybe they could make some convincing faux wood trim using the same technique.

I took the metal out of the tech package and had the base wood installed with a wood shift knob. I like it much better than non descript metal look. adds nice contrast to the console.

That was an interesting snipet. If anyone cares, Alpine makes most of their high grade speakers using this concept. The woofer cones are actually paper (ugh) but then they do the aluminum evaporative process or whatever the hell it is and in the end, the speaker has the rigidity of the metal, the outward touch of the metal too, but the lightness and response of the paper inside. Just thought I'd share!

Free598, I just love that umber look. Very nice! Sad to say, but my wife wouldn't let me get it - she said that the fact that I am partially color blind didn't qualify me to make a color decision.
