The early spyshots showed that the recaros were perforated and some screen icons and chinese characters made people believe it to be for heating with the said recaros. Much excitement incurred, with no official proof one way or another.
Then the order guide got released, full of typos, and...
I wonder if the mid-cycle refresh in a couple of years will do an attempt at fixing the ergonomics and esthetic of the current S650 dash. Or we’re stuck with it till the next gen in 6-7 years.
I got a 2022 brochure last weekend too, with a GT500 on the front. Was disappointed that the Eruption Green picture looked like it had been crayoned or photoshopped by someone who had never seen it.
The supply chain issue is not just about materials sourced to the factory, it also about supplying the built product all the way to the customer for delivery and final preparation.

Now I need to rationalize some value for the remaining 6k without repeating myself.
58k is the base launch price -- trying not to surprise people and attract bad press. I bet there will be a market price adjustment less than 6 months from now.
Also, for the correct perspective: I ordered a Mach 1 some 10 months ago before all the 2022 price adjustments, and the base was then...
