Picking up our new Karma!

[Deep Ocean]

Ok, posting the pics of our new car. Hope this works...

[Sigurd]

I am so happy for you. I can't wait for the pictures. Deep Ocean is simply the most stunning color. I'm still intrigued by the array of colors in the reflective chips in the paint.
After almost 3 weeks, I am getting my S.E Karma back this morning too. Can't wait. It's almost like delivery #2.
Cheers,

Looks like the first Deep Ocean also arrived in The Netherlands this week (the car at the end). But I prefer close-up pictures from 'Deep Ocean' himself...

I remember when I picked up my Karma... as I drove away from the dealer in Irvine, there was a trailer like this unloading more Karmas! It was pretty cool to see, although I was also distracted by the fact that I was FINALLY driving my own Karma =)

@Deep, I'm excited for you - can't wait to see the pics!

Picked up our car today and it surpassed our expectations! Dealership was great, spent three hours with us, and I spent time with their mechanics as well. Both mechanics came in on their day off to not only make sure that we were satisfied but that others were as well. Top marks to Marvin K. Brown in San Diego! Thanks to Dave, Frank, Jennifer, Vicki and their two excellent mechanics! I probably missed a few people. Sorry if I did.

The fit and finish is excellent. No trunk overbite, minor tweaks to the body that were taken care of right away. Typical growing pains on the command center, funny that there's no AM radio reception (we know, not sure how that was missed but a minor issue). Crackling on the blue tooth cell connection but not a show stopper.

The paint is awesome! Almost embarrasingly beautiful in the sun. A real head turner with lots of on lookers. We went to dinner tonight with the car and people were apologetic when asking if they could take a picture of the car.

Interior is perfect. We have black sand and love it. The alcantara looks great. No complaints. I noticed the lighted cup holders but lack of instrument lighting. Strange. But not a show stopper.

No electrical wiring smell at all. Got the low tire pressure indicator almost immediately, but the tires are perfectly fine. I'll put it on the list.

Overall ride: this car is solid, no rattles, minor engine noise in sport mode and a strange sound when the car first goes into sport mode, but it sounds like the engine is engaging the generator and doesn't repeat. No heat shield rattle. The ride is fantastic. Very quiet and sure.

Will post pictures on Sunday.

Congratulations, glad you're enjoying it! I really love that Deep Ocean color, appropriate for San Diego!
