has delivered plenty of substance. e butterfly doors open to accommodate an easy entrance and when inside, the seating is first class. Instrument and infotainment screens are well designed and configurable, and since the rear window is limiting, the rearview mirror has a camera display. And the price for all this is a reasonable $304,200 fully equipped. I just need to decide whether Rosso Vincente or Nero Enigma would be my best color choice.
