Wow. Absolutely gorgeous.
Is that Meteor or Slate?

That's Slate I'd bet. I am happy with the way that car looks, outstanding!

I'm sure that Slate. Meteor can't even be ordered until Sept. First builds for Meteor will not be here till Oct.

Car is gorgeous, but does anybody beside me think there are too many horizontal lines? Between the radiators, the air inlets and the rims, it seems like the car was designed using a straight edge ruler.
I'm guessing the GT2 will get rid of a lot of that. AS

Looks great, I think it's meteor. I, for one, like the triangular all leather steering wheel, rather than the round plastic one.

I agree with Alexander. Too many horizontal Line ques, the front grill in particular could do with out the added slates. I'm not sure if I like the exhaust tips captured by the rear bumber detail. Could have been integrated into the form better. Maybe in person it will look better.
