    About the 3 door sks, you do know that you can program your car to unlock all doors and the hatch by just gripping the driver's door. Now I agree it's not quite as good as 3 door sks, but it's pretty close.

    YA.. My biggest thing is that i want the hatch to have button so i dont have to go to the drivers door or fumble for my keys when leaving work.

    Just got my $1000 in shell giftcards! Mailed rebate forms in mid November, and they were shipped via UPS! Well worth the money I paid on ebay!:LOL:

    Welcome, I am a new owner as well. Never thought I would own one as well. I sold my diesel tdi to come over here and love the car so far.

    Still waiting for mine as well.. I think a lot of people are.
    Of course I didn't get mine until late Nov. and mailed in early Dec. so I am not worried.

    also regarding your prior question - they were shipped Fedex, no advance warning, but required signature, i.e. weren't just left 'at the door'. The fedex driver left notice on first and second attempt and I signed for receipt on third delivery.

    Havent gotten mine yet, but also havent heard form them yet either. From everyone i have talked to is that if you dont hear from HSN then usually the cards just show up in a few months.

    I will also note on this thread since Kenneth did too.. sent mine in around Dec. 10th and got mine on the 26th of March.
    Now here is the kicker.. since I am the one that first mentioned this on this thread... we have no Shell stations in the area dammit!!!!!
    They didn't advertise what gas company was issuing the cards until you got the paperwork.
    So I have 4 cards that are worthless to me.
    So if anyone wants to buy some for face value, you let me know lol.
    I did put one on ebay so far and it's going to sell, just sucks to take a loss when you figure in ebay fees and shipping and stuff... oh well, something is better than nothing right.

    Yep October 6th through January 7th... some people were lucky enough to be able to buy the paperwork on ebay.
    Cannot remember the date they have to mailed in by, like April 15th or something, so if people still want to look they have to hurry.

    So it seems they are taking a little over the 90 days to receive.. I have not heard anything about mine yet.

    I'm assuming it's too late to submit the forms if I purchased in March?
