Really what it came down to was interior and options. We decided on the black interior and 301A package, and would've settled for black white or grey exterior. Went to 3 dealers, only one had what we wanted, so we got a grey one. I didn't really like the contrast between the black rocker panels and the white exterior, so I'm glad we didn't go that way. YMMV.

Well, we don't usually need snow scrapes in coastal CA (Mexico is less than 2 dozen miles away), but other than that, I keep the same sort of stuff back there.

Underfloor (aka Han Solo smuggling compartment) behind the passenger I have one of those hammer thingies that will smash a car window and cut seatbelts. The storage tray outboard of my seat has a pen and a mini leatherman.

Thank YOU. I enjoyed using some of my camera equipment on the new vehicle.

Look here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/18842924@N03/8155099947/in/set-72157631928100903 I have a quick release clamp on the seat post, the bike doesn't fit inside with the seat at its normal (riding) position. I undo the quick release, drop the seat down 4-5" down the seat tube, and then it fits inside and upright.

Yah, folded up it is 38x7x2" and it isn't foldable so it takes up a bit of space. Not that I'm complaining, I couldn't find any 'regular' sunscreen that was tall enough to be held in place with the sun visors.

Yah, the aftermarket scuff guard has MORE than enough stick-- be careful applying it because it grabs HARD as soon as the tape touches the bumper.
