Thanks Corrado, very refreshing to hear that the USB is just as easy as the Nebula gray to maintain and keep clean!! Now, first bath is coming up this weekend if we can ever get out of this heat advisory here in N.C.!!

Congrats on the USB RC!!

I love the USB color more and more!!!

On my RC-F, IF I use ECO mode and cruise on the highway steady at 65 or below, I can get around 31mpg. As soon as I change to ANYTHING else or I start driving very "LIVELY" or want to hear the V8 roar beyond around 4k rpm or want to hear the down shift revs, then the 31mpg flies out the window and 14 mpg or below is the new reality. I usually can't stand driving in ECO mode. I have enough of the ECO mode in my CT200H! !!

The grey color was very easy to maintain.



Gas mileage does pretty good on the highway. I have already seen up to 34-35 mpg on a straight open road. In the city not too great, but then also I leave it in sport mode almost the entire time so that's been averaging around 22mpg in the city on premium gas.



Thanks Josh, will check it out.



Thanks Bearcat it is a pretty amazing car !

Even though its new, get a detail done which seals it right....or go ceramic pro. Protect that car paint from the get go!
