Probably doing emissions testing since our state is very strict and takes months to get approval. That way if thereis an issue it will give them time to re-map the software below 35 mph.

I am on the waiting list for one when it hits our shores.

Yeah, much longer than I waited to take delivery of my 550

I try not to think about it but Road & Track just had an article about it in their recent issue and it looks awesome.

For the price of approx $70k it will be in a class of its own, as long as it gets the new ATESSA AWD system!
Mods will be just crazy available.

I saw that car 2 weeks ago on the 605 N coming from Cerritos. It wasnt doing much it was like going 55mph. It had a lot of lap tops and testing junk inside of it from what I saw. FYI

Perhaps.
All I'm saying is I wouldn't overlook it. I'm very much interested but will wait until more information is released. It seems to be the Tokyo motor show where lots of questions will be answered.
