ahhh... that could be it then. i'll have to confirm on my invoice after i return the car. i guess the car list i saw hadn't updated this info yet -- might have been an old list, obviously.

not a bad car overall, i suppose... i'm not a huge fan of american design/engineered cars, but this one drives smooth and tries to mimic design cues that one would call "upmarket" (lots of accent lighting and interesting dashboard lightshows when you start the car, etc.)

thanks for the tips, as usual!
