Interesting, although I can't say I've been a fan of Cobra in the past. Just not sure how they are going to sell a $400+ detector when they are known for their junk $50 detectors. Interested to see a review on it. Somebody get it and let us know what it's like

Personally I'll stick with my V1.

How's it stack up to the V1?

Here's a detailed review of the device. I like the idea but radar sensitivity compared to other detectors is more important in my opinion.

Here's the conclusion if you're lazy to read the whole thing:
"Conclusion

At any rate, these new radar detectors, the Cobra XRS R7/GPSL and Cobra XRS R9G have, I believe, the very real potential to signficantly change the paradigm of radar detector utility, again. Even with some reception deficits, the innovative design of these detectors results in two very compelling products.

When Cobra's North American database is completed, their software is released, and if they would tweak/improve their radar reception performance, they have the potential to produce two absolute killer, and I do mean killer radar detectors—regardless of the price point—radar detectors that could permanently alter the landscape of the radar detector usage paradigm, for the better. I am going to keep my fingers crossed and a watchful eye on the future of Cobra's new product line.

These are exciting times for our industry.

Happy and safe motoring!
