    I wonder why they flip flopped and put the weird wood looking stuff on the bottom of the panels in the 589? I guess the carbon fiber look was probably too futuristic for a truck with a hood.

    My issue has been cupholders and the plastic right behind the steering wheel. I have the slide out cupholders though.

    my super salesman just told me that they aren’t being told anything official. But his guess is after early next year you won’t be able to order one

    I forgot about the cup holders in my old one. They were pretty miserable.

    Is that a full breather can in a bodywork depression, or a cover designed to look like a can?

    Not much over there that you’d really be reaching for going down the road, nothing that’s not usually a ways away from you anyway. The stuff you use a lot is on the wheel or close to it.
