Ron,
Be very carefull about that Limestone Grey leather for R8. It is extremly prone to dirt!
Black with Limestone Grey stitching is safer option IMHO...
Also, if you wear jeans a lot then your Limestone Grey seats may look Limestone Light Blue after few months...

Well. I actually got a call today from the AUDI dealer to spec out the R8 I ordered.
I just came back and here is my order:
Jet Blue (no exclusive options are available for the U.S.
)
Alum. siding
enhanced leather interior (stone gray) PL3 option
no LED head light options for the U.S. only Xenon at least for the first round of orders.
B&O sound system
That's pretty much all the options they had listed for the U.S.
And of course the price is still unknown for the U.S.

Seems to me as if LED headlight technology isn't really ready yet.

No, not that it's not ready yet, but to comply with EU regulation about LED as the main headlights, which is allowed only after the year 2008.
