2. Special appearance package

A rep told me that they might discontinue the V8 after this year and go to a turbocharged V6. But that’s just what he’s been hearing. That’s all I got so far

The next best thing to more #BlueCrew members are more Atlanta Owners! 😜 I don’t want fleet level visibility, but I want to see more 500s out and about. 😉😎

…and I’d do it again. 😂😂

Yes, it's only available on the luxury & ultra luxury package but not on the 500 and no rear shades as well cuz we don't have a premium trim, our one trim 500 fits in between base and premium, we have ML system, big screen and triple beams but no power tilt & telescope and no rear shades. Canadian 22MY IS500 don't even come w/ sunroof, Canadian 23MY was the first year for 500 to have sunroof lol...

And the irony is there could very well be more Blue Vectors than all Grecian Water and USB combined.
