As program manager, I can state quite definitively that side air is not currently available as a factory installed option. Due to liability issues (while anything is possible for a price)we will not even consider a dealer/port installed kit. We'll put a call into the SF office so that they can counsel with their SJ area stores/salepersons. On another front a cruise kit is under study, so those that are interested be patient, (rather than buying the whole steering assembly just to get the pre-drilled cover). Issues include separation of cover from the assembly, packaging, tech compliance, internal certification and supplier agreements etc.....If the spec carries an est. MSRP of $250, a kit if available would be $250+ +(if labor incl), but certainly less than than the $700+ in parts at the current configuration.....On tires, we're working through the national dist - our dealers don't normally stock tires--the fact that many of you post you geographic location really helps with the tire mfgr and pinpointing issues with their distributors. On mpg we're publishing some documents on driving tips and epa ratings etc that would go to all existing customers, on the web site and some sort of showroom piece....the lawyers are checking the words now we hope to get it out before the end of the month.
