So, what exactly did they change Vs. the 3.8 Track? Most of those features must be common to both models.

HID headlamps, cruise control, sunroof, spoiler, leather, A/T option & Bluetooth. I think that's pretty much it. About like the 2.0 R-Spec, but it save you like $4 grand compared to the 3.8 Track A/T.

personally i don't see why cruise control is such an important option for people. i've used it, and... well, i don't see the point. where do you put your foot when cruise control is on? mine's just resting on the gas (or brake) pedal anyways. and even on long highway stretches, traffic speeds up and slows down all the time (see phantom traffic jams) so i end up working the gas and brake fairly regularly anyways. to be honest i think i've made use of Bluetooth more often than cruise control.

You probly live in a populated area. I live in one too and I can see you point, but in the summers I work on a flower farm (yes lets makes jokes now) in the middle of BFE west texas. I mean it so much in the middle of no where that the speed limit is 80 interstate 10. Just about every week end I drive to town for food or supplies or something, and on the hour and half trip I dont hit the brake once till i exit for town. So cruise is nice to have but in Jacksonville FL where i live. I agree it is pointless. So cruise really depends on where you live.

I'm on the Florida Turnpike everyday. I mpg's go up at least 20% when I use cruise. These are 20 mile trips, and it pays off
