Went to the dealership today and placed my order on a new 2015 Vantage GT. I hear delivery may be in about 3 months or more but I will be part of the first allocation of cars built.

Now I have to go and sell my '07 Vantage. frown

Yes, green, but without the yellow a-pillars or the white GT stripe. It's the US equivalent of an N430 which is to say about the same as a V8VS

Are we still talking about the car?

FWIW: you have never been able to get the lightweight seats in the US because the don't have side airbags. That is probably the reason they differ from the N430 spec.

^^^^^ And that list doesn't even show the entire section titled Interior Functional which includes things such as Premium or B&O sound system, memory seats, heated seats, satellite radio, GT Technology pack, alarm volumetric upgrade, etc.

Additionally, we came across some other options that didn't even have prices associated with them. The most notable of these were genuine carbon fiber exhaust tips originally developed for the one-77. I'd hate to know how much those babies would cost although I must say they looked seriously cool in the picture we saw.

The interesting thing about that last page is that satellite radio is listed as standard but then mentioned again as part of the GT Technology Pack. We couldn't figure that out and the dealership is trying to get Aston to explain it.
