You're probably right, for some reason I thought something was changed up on them.

Yeah, I explained it to her. She likes the idea of it being a top trim and being 1 of 500. And a couple grand isn't that big of a deal. I prefer the limited with pp over the ts, and ultimately I'll be the one driving so it's my decision. Was trying to gather some real world numbers as far as mpg. But if I rolled into work with that spoiler on the back I'd never hear the end of it.
