Went to a dealer in Jersey (Baker - Princeton) and took a silver one for a test drive yesterday. I guess he knew I wasn't just coming in to give it a whirl, but was serious about purchase (which I am).
All I can say is HOLY CRAP!!! Just pulling out of the parking lot was a bit hard to get used to coming from my 178 HP 4Runner! He had me punch it on a back road. MUST......HAVE........IT..............TEMPTATION.. .......TOO.......STRONG.

The one I test drove, and they would like me to buy, has what I think is gremlin in the driver side window, but I figured I'd check here.
When you use the auto up feature it goes all the way up, but then goes back down half way. Is this supposed to happen???? The salesman told me it probably was supposed to do that, but that doesn't make sense. He then told me not to worry, cause it would be covered by the warranty, but I told him I wasn't about to spend $45K on a vehicle that comes equiped already with gremlins.

something smells about that window (unless you've got clubs for fingers and caught the switch 2x...lol)

LOL!!!
Nope, I tried it several times, and it kept happening. Didn't happen when I used the auto up feature for the passenger side.
I'm guessing the auto up feature has a safety feature that backs the window down a bit if it encounters something? Like a hand or fingers.
If the window is binding, it might be activating this.

...When you use the auto up feature it goes all the way up, but then goes back down half way.
Try this simple window auto-reset feature:
Using the window switch, raise the window to the full UP position. Hold the switch in position for 3 seconds, then roll the window all the way down to the bottom.

That's like dumping Cindy Crawford because she has a mole. They can easily fix stuff like that (which you should make sure is done before you buy it) so it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.
