There's bound to be a couple people who get GT4s and trade them with 310 miles on them - that seems to happen with just about every model though it sounds like this Cayman will be a pretty hot item.
Unrelated: is the rear window glass or plastic?

Even called Porsche to ask where the Spyder with buckets would be shown…no clue.

Thanks.

I wish they could get heating in those seats? I wonder why a seat that cost almost 5k is without his amenity? Is it because of the plastic?

As to the seats, there is no rhyme or reason why they could not be heated, they are available in other markets with a heating option.
