    indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine..  I happen to like both :)

     Gorgeous, think the Alcantara really makes it special.   Also appreciate that you removed the license plate

    Very nice car! The optional rear lights go very well with the colour. Are these standard on the GTS?

    But please order a ROW rear bumper to replace the US version. It might not be totally legal but so what!

    Arggh, he's doing it again - top-down pics.

    We are freezing our a$$es off over here (minus 5° celcius) and you're exposing us to pictures suggesting that there's life out there without 7 layers of clothes. I hate you.

    Of course, I am just kidding, this car is just plain gorgeous. Thanks very much for the pictures.

    Thanks reginos! Smiley   The clear glass optics are optional...as are the front side markers.  They will not change out the amber side markers to clear in Europe...but we can do it here in the US! Smiley

    ...and yes, I may look into rear bumper options.  Smiley

    Great photos of a great car Doug - she's looking at home already..

    Notice you also resisted the rear parking sensors... makes the big-ass rear end so much cleaner..
