6-speed manual!

I couldn't convince my wife to get the upgraded stereo. Oh well.

Space Grey is a tremendous color. Good choice. I'm sure you're going to love the car. Congrats.

Now that the sport package includes the aero kit and larger more expensive wheels and tires, what is the cost of the package?
