Hi friends,
today I saw my first Black Star XLR. This car looks great, especially the black paint of the car and the chrome wheels and grille. My dealer here in Naples sold allready one and thats the second he got in.
I have took some pics but as right now while I am in the US i cannot post them (Hotel PC) but I will post them when I am back home.

Hi Upstate,
I have put the pics on my notebook but the color is on the pics like the Black Raven, you have to see it for real, its a fantastic color when sun comes on it.
It is black with many metal flake in it but this comes only out when the sun or light comes on it.
The center console with more wood looks also good to me.

Are the wheels the same as the 04/05 only chrome?

Yes, they are the same, only chrome.
This morning they had one there, this evening while I was out for dinner and DeVoe is on my way they had another two coming in, another Black Star and one Xenon Blue. They parked side by side, wonderfull picture.

Harry, :nodno

They weren't the same, they have more spokes than the 04 and 05. You where to busy looking at colors.:)

No Bob, I just took a look at my notebook, to be sure - it is the same 7 spoke wheel only chrome. That is the one the Black Star has on.

Thank you for trusting me Bob :cheers

Now I am very interrested to see the color you get by myself. Too bad that the Xenon Blue (beside the two Black Stars) was not Ultra Red. I will see it soon.

Bob, I am glad you arrived home without any trouble from your 6000 mile trip.

Today I ordered my Corsa, it will be send to Germany next monday.

Hans,

How does your ACC work with that big license plate? NO problems?

Hi Bob, NO PROBLEMS but as you know I have just tested it for you and it worked perfect. The big license plate is not in the way of the sensor for the ACC.

For US it is really nice trough your speed limit but if it was an extra cost on my XLR I would not have order it. Hans loves to do (miles) 100 120 140 160 -172
what do I use an ACC for???????

Have a nice one Bob

Unfortunately, not the same. Carmen must have been a popular lady.
Playa = Place - northern yucatan
Ciudad = City - southern bay of Campeche

No one will EVER confuse them... :D

Playa= Beach
just north of Cancun, if you've never been, it's a great place away from the "tourist trap".

One of my flyin' buddies is just finishing construction of a 6000 sq ft house on the water there. He's promised a trip down this winter. Thanks for the report. :thumbs
