I plan on driving my car a lot (no garage queen here) and comfort is far more important to me than looks.
No need to feel defensive or make such a childish post. There are good reasons to get the buckets and there are good reasons to get the standard sport seats. It's a matter of personal preference, that's all.

Chill dude.

Nah, RL is fine. I allocate my time to things I enjoy. I no longer enjoy dealing with a bunch of whining women crying over seat availability.

Have fun ladies . I know I will

As always on forums, some nuances that are obvious when interacting face to face are lost when posts are uploaded.

We're all crazy about this car and it's a great group we have here. No need to get all worked up with each other!

I wonder if the LWB seat availability is done for the rest of the 2016 run of GT4's?

Usage of smilies will minder that effect greatly by helping, at least somewhat, to get the gist across. Otherwise misunderstanding is inevitable and leads to (in kind?) rebuttals.

Sorry, didn't mean to scare anyone with build dates still scheduled for 2015. I was thinking of the mythical allocations for the first half of 2016 which no one has received yet.

If you're at V200 with the seats still listed, you can take a deep breath and relax I think.

Not trying to be whiny. FYI, That's why I am hoping to get PTS to match the colour of my purse.

This custom ordering Porsche car thingy is turning out to be as frustrating as custom ordering a Hermes bag

It appears I wasn't the only one who thought you were serious. But yes, I will definitely chill. I'm sorry for having responded to you in such an out-of-control manner.
