Default So what would you do if this choice was presented to you?

My car is scheduled for delivery in late August or early September. I could likely drive it until some time in November if I wanted to push things a bit. Datyona Grey with Quartz grey blades. Today I get a call from the dealer. They have a car in the showroom and the purchaser my not follow through on the purchase. Phantom Black with Daytona Grey blades they think. Other options are pretty close to what I wanted including a manual transmission. If the potential purchaser cannot commit by tomorrow, I can have the vehicle this week. So the skill testing question is - what would YOU do.

Signed - dazed and confused.

Phantom Black w/ Daytona Grey they *think*? They're not sure what car they have?

Which one has more options?

Getting the car now might be a thought to consider. You could have some summer fun.

My sales rep was just not totally sure on the blade color. She thought Daytona grey which is not actually an option. I think it must be lava grey. The body is definitely Phantom Black. The one they have now has more options - navigation plus B&O which I did not order. On the other hand I ordered the full premium leather package - this one has leather elements.

Default Well you could always get both.and test current economic

price/demand theories by seeing if you can't trade the Black one in on your September delivery and get $10+k in cash back on the exchange :-)

Take the black car now. Better options, better color, enjoy the summer. Drive it for awhile, then get the R10.

Screw full leather. B&O will make the journey much more enjoyable. Alcantara is not that bad. If the money difference was not an object, I'd get this one, and enjoy it throughout the summer.

Let us know what you decided.

Default I agree, take this one but my response is because this is near how I plan to order mine when my

number comes up. I do not think the leather adds much at all but the B&O/Nav are certainly worth having.
