Couldn't agree more. Aesthetically and i'll say it again, just doesn't have that presence of the MK1 GT3/RS and especially when we first saw that car.. Everything else will be fantastic though.

I'd take the seats and the full leather interior and call it a day. Probably white or silver..

I agree that the MKI front looks better, but this one looks pertty good also.

^ I agree. The first time I saw a Mk1 GT3 I was blown away, this one not so much. Not as clean, too busy, the front is too similar to GT2 or TT. The front of the Mk1 GT3 is just about perfect.

No doubt the MkII is going to be a nice improvement with nice new features (3.8 GT1 engine) and the wheels are beautiful. Hopefully no RMS leaks.

It looks like full leather is standard now (ala TT) unless they missed it on the window sticker. I like the Alcantara on the glove box. But I would go without full leather if I had the choice.

My dealer said the leather interior is not standard.
For me, the MK1 front is too soft and the MK2 is more aggressive.
The MK2 looks like a more proper sports car than the old one.

When I go back to the show tomorrow I will ask about the leather situation. I will also try to get some under the car photos of the increased brake vents or whatever else is noticeable down there.

I have a friend going to the show today and maybe he can find out about the leather also.

Just checked on the German configurator and full leather is a free option. Probably going to be the same in the US I guess...

Why the GT3 looks so high, like they haven't removed the transportation chimes.

Apparently it's a ROW one since there are no ugly bumperettes.
They just put a US window sticker.

Door finishers (surrounding the door opener handle) and the A/C vent surrounds.
