The knob looks similar to that in the trucks and suv's. Hopefully the interior will be as stunning as the exterior.

There is a video on Youtube of a potential buyer going through the application. I wish they would have required a deposit with the application to have more meaning behind the process.
I wonder if they didn't because they wanted it to be a marketing ploy. So, for instance, Bob in sales can say "we had 50k potential applicants, demand is off the charts!" when in actuality of those 50k, 1500 had the means and desire to actually buy the car. And of those 1500, when given the option, only 300 would buy it.

I think if there was extremely high demand from a large potential buyer base they would have closed the application already instead of leaving it open until May.

That's the production interior. The headlight control knob is a tip-off, actually: It's an off-the-shelf FMC part, whereas the pre-production car had a single horizontal row of five single-push buttons.

Another tip-off: that 'yoga-mat' fabric was ribbed suede in the pre-production car.

Yet another: the rotary selector knob in the center console was black and the rearmost switchgear in the pre-production car. It's colored silver and has been moved (probably for ergonomic reasons) to just below the red hazard switch in the production version.

I hope it's ribbed for her pleasure, otherwise he won't get to buy it.

It is double the price it should be. I'm not seeing anything more than an evolution from the previous GT, which was under 200k. Looks good but I'm not a fan of the powertrain they chose.
