Just thought I'd post an update on this. Ignoring the advice of most people on this thread (and most people I've told about the new engine), I decided not to push for a buyback. Customer service...

So on the sixth trip in to try and fix the rattle in my dash, they finally determined it was the trim piece around the screen. (BTW, that's where I told them it was all six times I took it in). So...

I've got very minor orange peel on mine, certainly not enough to bother me. I do have the missing paint right below the center stop light, overspray under the hatch, very thin paint under the hood...

I'm surprised too. I was hoping Kelly would get involved yesterday, when she didn't I PM'd her (early) this morning.
