Metallics always show off the lines beautifully. Think the 370 blue is lovely as it's a very different blue to anything else on the market. Most being much darker hues.
Not remembering your insurance rules over there etc, but could you not take a copy of the certificate along with you, and they could phone the insurance company whilst you are in situ at the dealers to verify the details??
Think Nixy is definitely right.
All cars have their foibles, some more than others. But if they've been good thus far and it's still under warranty, hold on to it, unless other biggish things start cropping up coming up to January.
They do indeed still more proud in the boot. About 15cms (dunno what metric is ), or thereabouts. Having had a few punctures. Just plonk the boot liner plastic sheet thingy and the carpet on top (which will move around a tiny bit as it's kind of suspended). Don't forget to leave some Wet Wipes/hand cleaner stuff in the car too.
Last puncture I had, had to drive 64kms back home in disgusting weather leading a convoy of Zeds.
The Holocaust Memorial is quite odd. Imagine the poor people that look out at it.
The Berlin Dome has quite some history, after having a look. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Cathedral
Always find it interesting how different countries badge the same car. Here they come out stock standard with HSV badges on them, and there are even HSV dealerships. Thusly much more sort after if they have the posh badge, especially by the crim types.
Good to hear you're enjoying it Lexx. What's the Holden/HSV club like over there?
