Fingers crossed. The 'landing' is going to include a lot of whiz bang trickery - some of which they likely couldn't test very well. All automated because of the time delay in getting signals to and from.

Bad news -- this is the LAST Rover for the forseeable future -- success or failure. Big time Mars cuts were taken in the NASA budget.
