Wolfjurgen - I did a reasonable amount of query on Alcantara wear. Steering wheel/MT shifter - not recommended - pilling, Seats - no issue with appropriate maintenance (regular damp towel cleaning - no scrubbing, yearly deep clean (no steam) and protectant). There is info from the makers of Alcantara regarding stain removal, and my detailer confirms that stains can be removed - but get on them quickly for success. With this info I took the Alcantara/Leather package but optioned the Leather SD steering wheel and CF/Leather PDK shifter.

Thanks all... I spent 2 solid hours last night going over different interior combinations but I kept coming back to my original config that I stuck with. It will be nothing if not bold/unique.
On with the wait but I'm sure with the holidays upcoming the time will fly by. If not I'll continue bothering you guys with multiple posts per day/hour...

So latest update, my car is status V300 (Vehicle Exit Production) and the estimated arrival at dealership has moved up a full month to January 29th. Aiiiii!
Bit of a surprise given I was targeting mid-March delivery so may need to rethink my plans... ie. winter tires sooner rather than later.

yeah they are not the biggest bargain ... I really like the idea ... that way you get the ventilated seats which might be a must ... and some color into the cabin, although I really like the GTS pkg with the dev stitching and CF...
AAAArrrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhh! configurator insanity!

Latest update, car is at port and latest delivery date estimate is January 23rd!
That is give or take 5 days or so... if I get the car by early February I'll be happy. Should have the vessel info any day now too. Excited!
