you say its touring but touring has cloth seats. if you have heated mirrors or heated seats then it is a grand touring if not then the leather is aftermarket

good choice of color its bright and cheery here in the winter. just watch out for the water dance

Heated seats, leather, moon roof, Bose system, keyless entry...... it's a Grand Touring model.

Congrats! The 8 is a fine addition to your Rotary collection.

Well....of course it's not really a curse, but it's been a running thing on this site for a couple of years. Silver seems to be the color in more accidents and mishaps more than any other color.

Silver Curse?

This is just a hunch, but just mayybe.... silver is also the most common color of car on the road?

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/16/r...re-looks-blue/

That's apparently no longer valid, because white is now king. That's for new vehicles though. I am pretty sure silver has been king for many years in the last decade or two.

Always beware of any "statistics" you hear.
