Yes it was something that the ordering book was not allowing the dealership to change. They are changing it and updating it here within a few days, to make it able to upgrade to the polished on your RS...so call your dealership here in a few days and ask.

I was planning to sell the 4th gen so I would have more down payment. But now the wife throws a fit everytime I mention it because she wants the 4th gen when I get the 5th gen.

Depends on several things. Run a quick websearch for a "Car Payment Calculator" and plug in some variables (interest rate, term of loan, money down, loan amount) and see what it spits out. That is how I check when I buy cars. Do a little research before you shop, so you know what prices fall into your monthly payment range.

EDIT - I did some work for you. Here is a link for a payment calculator.

How much does the 2SS with RS package come to as a total? I knew that the 2SS goes for about $34K but I assume that the RS package isn't free, is it about $2K more?

See this link for the breakdown on pricing, or this link to build your own.

FYI, the RS package on the 2SS is $1200.
