Default Allocations??

So, any news on allocations? I'm hearing nothing until November. Anyone else have a different perspective? I still hate the colors, but would buy Grey/red. Forget about PCCB. I don't want the wheels to look like the Golden arches at McDonalds.

I like the gray with and without the PCCBs. Leaning towards the Big Reds though.

I can't believe it, but I think Porsche has screwed up on marketing the new RS. Just like Shasta and McDonalds in China. I think if the U.S. audience had been included in "fact-finding" we would have made out better with regard to colors at least. Or, maybe it's a matter of cost. Grey paint might be cheap these days...

Here is the inspiration from the Euro boys focus group. I think this is what they meant by "mild colors".

the porsche checkers and script on top of the rear fendes has got to go. other then that the new colors have merit.

dark grey with black wheels would look very sinister.

with only 250 units, what knid of money will be asked for them is my question?

Must be a fad or serious infection. I wonder if that Renault has a front end lift system?
