Anyone know of better deals in Northern California than $7,500 off for '04's?
And, tell me coupe owners, can you get golf clubs in the back? Looks*maybe* possible.
Only things I did not like in testing today was the driver's door/window wind noise and the two tone interior. Both seem solvable from what I read.
Thanks.

Can't help you re better deal.
Golf clubs was big concern of mine when I was researching the Xfire. I actually took my golf clubs w/fold-up cart to the dealership. The dealer was very cooperative and let me try it out.
Procedure: Remove the bag from the cart. Fold-up cart and place the cart down in the recessed floor area of the back; mine fits just nicely. Take out your driver, 3woods,etc. and the bag is then placed diagonally across the top of the cart. You can then place the driver, 3wood, etc. in beside the bag. When I did this, the dealer said "I think you could put another set in there". He went and got an empty bag and placed on top of my bag diagonally in the other direction and it fit. Closing the rear hatch was no prob. Now my bag is not a huge 'professional' type. Just your typical average golf bag.
About the wind noise; check out the other posts re this problem; just recently someone had a post mentioning a TSB for this problem.
I have the two tone gray interior and love it. After seeing it for the first time, I had to have the two-tone. I think it has a lot more character than single colour. Two tone cedar/slate would work for me also but not with SSB exterior.
Hope the above helps.
