Dealer Event in Buffalo - Detail Pics [Badlands Area 51]

[SpaceWrangler]

I was able to go to the Dealer Event in Buffalo and took some pictures. I wanted to focus on the little details since I hadn't seen many up close pics of materials, textures, etc. The event was indoors and the lighting wasn't great but I did my best to clean them up.

There was a Cactus Grey First Edition with Navy Pier and an Area 51 Badlands (2.3 Manual). Both were soft tops. I spend most of my time in the Badlands because I'm also getting a Manual (Base 2-Door in VB). I asked the BN guys about driving the manual and here's what they said:

• The throws were nice and short
• He couldn't really tell me where the clutch engagement point was (I'm guessing that means it was fine).
• I asked about rev hang and he said it seemed fine/didn't really notice it.
• I did mess around with the shifter when I sat in it and it felt fine to me. I liked the lock out ring.

My overall impression was that the build quality was decent and the materials weren't bad for the price point. MGV felt fine, I'd be happy if I was getting it. I wished they'd had a 2-door, or one with a cloth interior, but I'm glad I got to check out the manual.

EDIT: gonyr checked with the BN folks said both vehicles had leather interiors.

Great pictures. Both of these vehicles had leather interior. I really wanted to check out the MGV (and a 2-door), so I double checked with the presenter.

Oh thanks I’ll update it. That might explain the floor mats.

I was there yesterday .... the biggest disappointment was no 2 door model.

It is amazing how much bigger the First Edition looked compared to the Badlands due to the tires ... I.can't.wait!!! My Wildtrak can't get here soon enough!

Great pics! I almost feel I could make my own off some of that detail.

Great job capturing all the moving parts. We'll soon have enough pictures on the forum to put a product brochure together.

What is this a picture of?

That was shooting through the modular bumper at what looked like the intercooler for the turbo. Those rivets in the bottom of the photo are on the modular steel bumper.
