Introduction
no, I'm not studpid, I know the 07 is a 650, not 645 like it says!!!!!!!!!! There's not a choice for 650.... one of the coolest cars I've ever owned.

one of the best applications of the 4.8 yet-- I just LOVE the exhaust note!

Fuel Efficiency - 8
better than I expected-- avg. 16-17 in town & got 22.4 MPG on a quick 150-mile trip today without using the cruise (avg about 10 mph over, roughly 78-80 most of the way).

Conclusion
I am more impressed by the car the more I drive it. It's a 6-speed & I love the subtle difference in the throttle/steering & such that you get by using the SPORT button-- with wife & daughter in car, SPORT "off" makes it a comfortable FAST car. By myself with the windows down & stereo up, SPORT "on" & DSC "limited" lets me have a little *fun*.......
