Picking up my Red Jewel CXL today.....

hey hey hey, enjoy that rideeeeeeeeeee :thumb:

Well I just got to this thread today, nevertheless, Goodluck and Congratulations. If everything goes in my favor I will be picking up something similar next week

I'm also interested in the Red Jewell, but my wife and daughter like casmiere interior on the CXL. Please post some pictures, and, if you can, take some of the interior with the door open and visible -- we want to see the difference in appearance between the titanium and cashmiere when you can actually see part of the body color. Also am considering the crossbars, so it will be interesting to see if they add additional noise to the interior on the road. I noticed the roof rails that come with every Enclave are enclosed from the side -- I'm assuming to reduce wind noise.

In any case, it has to be really exciting to be getting your car. Enjoy! And, let us know of any problems/concerns as you drive. Have fun!

We are looking for Ebony interior, the dealer I have been working with has a Titanium one parked outside with every feature we need matching to the dot except for the interior color. I hope he can swap that out with the other dealer.

1) Cashmere, NO, last 3 cars had this color interior. Even though it looked good, we wanted something different.
2) Ebony, loved it, drove one with ebony and it looked great with the wood accents, although we were not convinced we wanted something that dark. Most important, we WANTED Red Jewel, and the only red jewel available had titanium.
3) Titanium, now that we have it, we love it. It is not the average generic gray you see in so many cars these days. Our children are older, so showing the dirt is not an issue, and it looks elegant.

Ultimately, if I was to order one, I probably would have ordered ebony. However, due to the currently quoted 4 month lead time, I am equally happy with the titanium.

Just got the call this morning. My red jewel cxl has arrived. Picking it up either Monday or Tuesday. The wait was well worth it especially now hearing how difficult it is to get these cars. ;D

How long did it take you to get it?

Great news. I'm hoping mine makes it to the dealer on Monday as scheduled. I haven't heard anything for over a week.

Are you still happy with it MRBUICK? I see so many of them go down the line anymore I don't even think twice about it but I think that red is the best color of these cars. Well maybe the black carbon metallic, that’s hot too but I hope you like it.

I knew Carbon Metallic will be the hottest of all, but so sad I can't wait for it anymore. :sosad: Our second choice now is Red Jewel.

Got to be the Cocco......I would like Red Jewel but do not like the bottom skirt colour. (color in Canadian) :angel:

Still very pleased, it is actually my wife's 50th birthday present.
It got a good looking over and a thumbs up from a Porsche Cayenne driver yesterday, and my neighbor thought it was a Lexus.
I see a potential problem with stuff getting into the open 2nd row seat tracks. My wife's purse strap got caught in it yesterday. I wonder if the sliding/folding feature could have been designed differently?
