Any thoughts on the 992 with/without full leather? Basically, I'm already down to the bare requirements (There's really nothing else I want to add) - and the full leather is my only sticking point (mainly because of price).
I'd definitely go with full leather.

Congratulations!

Waiting for the next pics and video

Absolutely gorgeous!

Definitely disagree... I think it looks brilliant. The apron just breaks the metallic look and completes it. But all subjective...

2 Things... Definitely go for the leather - I regretted it in my last 911 and ordered it with my new car. Think carefully about Gentian Blue... it was originally my first choice, but I've gone a bit cold on it since seeing it in the flesh. Shows dirt and prints on it too easily. Looks great under lights, but less so in sunlight.

Oh wow! That is a fantastic spec! Congratulations! I wasn't a fan of the SD, but in this colour with those wheels it is incredible!

When I went in to my dealer recently (1 week ago?) he mentioned having 4 allocations right now - whether or not they're spoken for who knows...
He also said he'd not even had a chance to see/drive the car yet. There's something in Salt Lake City (or maybe ATL, not sure) for them to see the cars for the first ime.
