Val,
        I think you're making the right decision in waiting and ordering. My
family bought a demo Acclaim a few years ago and IMO the car was never
quite right. It appeared OK, but it never felt right, know what I mean?

        In an earlier post you mentioned you were going to go with the 3.55 over
the 3.92 for gas mileage reasons. Really, with the type of driving you'll
be doing (Boston commute) and full-time 4WD I don't think you'll see much,
if any, difference in the gas mileage and the extra grunt the 3.92 offers
will help you out in aggressive traffic. Make sure you get the
limited-slip as well, it'll be a really big help in the snow & sloppy stuff.
