Curious, why is it so far out? When did you order?

US & Canada got the first release of the car. Our friends in Europe have to wait until early 2022 before they get their cars.

Usually it is the other way around, must be because the car is built in mexico

Could be.

Joe drove pretty much my spec but I have gone for all black trim - no cerium grey permitted!

UK seat spec looks a little different than the US, anyone noticed?

I think I have the same as you. Midnight Metallic with all blacked out wheels, front and trim. The car is darker in person than I expected. When I saw it yesterday it still had the wrapping on it for transport protection so I couldn't see what it really looked like 100%. Its very sleek. Rear end is definitely a weird take but its not that bad in person. I like the Portimao Blue however, the blue side skirts don't mix as well with that color contrast IMO. should be fun though.

I noticed...posted a side by side in another thread. Man, those Euro M seats are legit.
