    Positive. Perforated may be a little bit more comfortable, but the holes collect dust and are very hard to clean.

    If the acceleration is as pleasant as I'm expecting, there may be a bit of that.

    That makes sense. We have perforated in our A6, but I *think* that's because we have the heated/cooled seats. With cabin preconditioning, it shouldn't be an issue anywho.

    At this point, for what I want, sig is sort of a waste, but I couldn't imagine waiting a few more months (or longer since I'm not likely to get my original number back). I'm still hoping there will be a surprise or two for us in store.

    I figure I'm paying roughly $1000/month for this car, when looked at for 10 years. Or $500 per, over 20 years.

    So $1000/month for every month I'd get the same car sooner... hmmm, is it worth it?

    I'm really hoping there is some 'surprise' to make the Signature tax a little less. I understand it helps create extra profit for them which is fine but just color difference, slightly more leather and earlier delivery should be less than the $5k or so.

    Just received the email (#510), and I downgraded. $5k+ was just too much for badging and early delivery. The said I'd be reset back to approximately my original GP order number in June 2011.

    I wonder how many people are getting in from the Sig waiting list after all.

    I wanted the sig red and white interior. I can't wait well either. No other differences for sig or standard performance. Early and costly.

    We downgraded - wife wants the Metallic blue and so that made the Sig tax $7,500 (cheaper paint and only need one charger). But instead of our old R199 number they gave us R456 (which I assume is the back of the pack?). I thought about complaining but it's likely only a few weeks difference and in the grand scheme of things really won't matter.

    Metallic Blue is a winner! If you are going with Perf, wonder how CF will look with the Blue?! Should be good!

    It looks good on our Roadster! Right now she's thinking: Blue Perf, Black w/ CF interior, pano roof, standard 21" wheels (the perf wheels and the blue were fine but the chrome handles and bits really jumped out - blends better w/ the lighter wheels), spoiler.
