They are only making 250 of these (when you see the price,--you need not concern yourself) and will be sucked up overseas where they will make a lot of money for Porsche, or Volkswagen.

Aw, didn't know it wasn't coming to US! I couldn't wait to see the new Fuchs.

No chance you can emulate the ridges in the roof. That will set the car apart for sure.
