Great new V6. Fantastic 7-speed automatic shifts when and as it should. Returns very good economy: low 20s in town; high 20s on the highway. Very linear acceleration, which cannot be had in peaky, turbocharged, competitors.
Nearly flawless assembly and attention to detail. Very, very little feels cheaper than it should, which I cannot say about the 5 Series BMW or moreso, the Volvo S80. Everything mechanical, such as doors and accessories, operates with a quality feel.
Quite, supple, suspension. Comfortable ride, yet nimble handling. Cruises really nicely on long trips.
Everything seems to fall to hand, even the navigation system, after a brief introduction. Very nice wood trim with chrome accents. Controls have a substantial, reassuring heft to them, that infers quality.
Very comfortable, firm seating,even after very long drives. The combination of lumbar support and heat leaves me refreshed after eight- and nine-hour drives.
