Looks like a good place for a NACS charge port.

All the products share the same paint/electrostatic line in the plant, just the sleds are going to be different.

Or on-schedule. Preproduction validation process isn't magic. It takes time.

That is probably the vent for air pressure to escape when doors are being shut. Too restrictive, people will complain about doors being hard to shut (as we've seen in these forums from certain individuals). Too free-flowing, it will sound hollow and cheap instead of the solid thump (which the Germans set the standard for way back).

The quote goes something like:

• Jeremy Clarkson: "The Germans, they put a cat in a car, and if it's dead in the morning, they know it's a good car. The British put a cat in a car, and if it's still there in the morning, they know it's a good car."

Was going to reply the same as well. That's my inclination, but it does seem quite large; however, I'm not an expert in this area.

Size, with out trim and the valve, looks about right to me. I tried to find a picture of one from a different car but Google wasn't cooperating.
