options and colors are on AIM but no detail of pricing. My guess is after the firebird training.

I saw that but noticed that the do not have the carbon engine bay as an option anymore. I hope it is standard.

color matched to car? or something else?

any changes are optional.

i know the engine LEDs will be std, as will the 19 inch wheels.

i mean, for the poor bastages who are on list at a dealer that will only get one car per year they'll have to wait 7 years to get one and they won't even know about it. dealers better have allocations before they start taking orders with non-refundable deposits.

most times this has to do with special order options. On the R8 it may be codes for options that will be available later in the production year.

Where's the Carbon options, wheels etc

manual v. r tronic gauge?

Something like that.

Where's the carbon fiber interior options...??
