Hi all, I'm new to the forum and about to take delivery of a new 2016 179 on Friday. 

I notice there are some dealers starting to advertise 2017 units. Are these just presumptive ads or are we starting to roll into the 2017 model year? 

Are there any known differences between 2016 and 2017?

The plant in Oregon is producing 2017 models now. I think the current features first appeared with 2016 & a half models.

The unit we have our eye on is the later 2016 with the stainless sink. I'm just wondering if we should wait for a 2017 if it is only a matter of a few weeks

There are no current production changes to the 2017 Pods that are coming out and on dealer lots now.  You "may" see changes in the Fall.

There is a model change that's currently active on the new 176 and 176t models to make them larger 20' R-Pods now is the only thing recent.  Nothing else is announced yet.

I looked at both the 2016 and 2017 at the dealer there are BIG!!! DIFFERENCES!!! you walk into the 2016 they are small inside you walk into the 2017 they are twice the size inside, and everything is luxury in the 2017 in comparison.

Guess which one we bought?

Only difference I could tell is fabrique pattern difference, that's it!

I used to own a 1999 Firebird.  My daughters you to say it was an inverted TARDIS -- looked bigger on the outside than from the inside.
