Nah I got the Bose system too.  Quite nice actually.  How does the 
Q-Chip compare to the P-Chip?  I have the P-Chip and like it quite a 
bit...

>>8. The front brake rotors are huge!  They barely fit inside the 
wheels!
>>9. The '97's come with a glove box, finally.

>>On the minus side:

>>5. The car doesn't handle as neutral as say a Miata, but its much 
better

>>6. It doesn't come with a CD player.
>>7. It has Day Time Running lights (but I think they can be disabled)
