Re. the question about reliability:
There was much talk about the "improved reliability" of the new models at the meet. There were discussions about a cross country run this past summer that included a stint through Death Valley - they seemed proud that not a single car had a problem.

However, on the morning of the event I attended, three cars stopped in at the dealer before leaving town - all of them because their gas cap doors would not open. Seems the weather change (it was cooler) made tolerances just a bit too tight. Once at the dealer each was fixed in a matter of minutes. Small annoyance - but seemed strange that three would happen on the same day.
