I do not know of any significant differences other than the windshield. I am told probably April.

Thanks. My wife does love it; she would prefer something more subtle. But, my Corvette was Atomic Orange Metallic and I loved that color. Except for the Corvette, all of my cars have always been silver or blue.

Default Whoa! Went for 2016

Hold the horses, I am trading for a 2016 on Friday instead! I found one only 300 miles from the dealer I was working with with specs as I would order, except it also has the black pack. The 2016 discounts and rebates are TOO good to pass up. This car was built in December so it has not been sitting long! Pictures, next week.

What deal were you able to get? I'm looking at getting a '16 R too. I got a deal with $8500 off MSRP and a $2500 rebate.
