That's where I just saw it. That's news to me and makes me very happy for the future of the 718.

Probably just the configurator error, always a lot of bugs and error at first.

Yeah and I'm not sure I like that blue either. Hopefully the configurator doesn't do it justice but it seems bland. Sorta reminds me of a 80s chevy interior blue.

Many years ago, I know of someone who paid $225,000 for the first BMW X5 in the US. This was in 1999 when it cost like $35,000. Having money and pissing it away are two very different things.

I was just watching someone live stream from a dealer in LA. He was told 30-40 people on the list already and to expect between 100k to 150k ADM

GT4 RS is tulip mania. It's a good car ... but it's only a car.
