Idiot dealer put on their badge in the back and it's stuck on there pretty good. I'll have to wait for a warmer day and a hair dryer to remove it from the back.

Have a few questions/observations:

1. I feel alittle hesitation when starting off. Just checking if that's normal.
2. When coasting on a uphill, I hear a buzzing noise coming from the rear....is that normal.
3. Wish there was an illumination light for the volume switch. When driving home from the dealer last night the radio was playing and thought I had to find the volume on the touch screen to adjust it...LOL. Should have known where it is as it's the same small knob as in my Jag.
4. Wish U.S. had the Park Assist.

I'm glad I got it......getting stares already driving it this morning/afternoon!

That's says you don't want the torque converter to lock up too early.

As for the parking aid, I really wonder how often you parallel park in the US? I lived there for more than a year and it's a much less common way of parking than in urban Europe. Even here, congestion and parking restrictions mean it's less common than it used to be.vFor me, the surround cameras are a better parking aid than the parking aid itself.
