all you need is a little red trim and a cape, I'm not a black wheel guy but it sure looks great...

Funny the first thing that came to my mind was "Vader".

Nice

Too much black. I would want deviated stitching in silver maybe or a blue not red though...makes you think of Batman or something wicked. Maybe that's what you're shooting for. I would have also done interior CF package than black as the black painted in my experience shows fingerprints a lot.

Agree with ChrisFromCali...go with the 6spd vs PDK for best driving experience.

Its funny but when I order manual cars for stock they sit here for ever and we end up discounting them to move them....I prefer the stick myself but I also need to have someone actually buy the car who 90% off the time wants an automatic.....

Rather than funny, that's a sad situation. How many of those off the floor PDK buyers are first time Porsche owners?

Its true and its not just first time buyers. I was at my local dealership about a month ago and noted that the only new car with a manual transmission at the dealership was a 2014 Cayman S that I test drove last summer in 2013. When I mentioned it to my salesman, he said the only time they now order a car with a manual is if a customer comes in and specifically places and order for a car with one. He said they just don't sell these days. I've also met a few guys that have owned manual Porsches in the past but they have purchased cars with PDK, b/c after having knee or hip replacement surgery they just can't deal with a manual any more, particular in high traffic areas.

Sad to see manuals fading out on new cars. I'm glad mine's a manual! Cheers!

Statistics say less than 10% of cars are now sold with a manual.... Likely less than 5% and going down fast! I suspect.
