Congrats on the drop.
I guess the only thing I am confused about is your statement that AWD versions can be dropped. Was there a physical issue? I always thought that physically, it can be done. It was just a matter of how it will affect the AWD components. This is still an unanswered question, isn't it? Has anyone done rigorous testing on the affects?

I like the grille, where did you get it? I don't like the wheels at all. They are also too small. You should bump up to 20's. But, if you like it...that's all that matters. Just my 2 cents.
