Just ordered a 280 manual on flat white paint and just Cup for November delivery. I'll be using Android Auto so the big screen doesn't help as I think Android only uses the top of it anyway.
You can actually get Android auto to use almost all the 10" screen by changing the resolution to 720p in the dev settings of android auto. There's no noticeable resolution drop (it actually makes it cleaner) and leaves only a small 1cm black bar top and bottom. Ordered a trophy last month and got a provisional date of mid August. My 275 trophy is already away, so a few months wait until new one arrives. Ordered Silver manual with recaros, bose and camera. Also organised for the wheels to be redone in black prior to collection. I really do not like the 'red' accents on them. They do look good up close as a stand alone item, but dont feel they work in the overall package. But thats just me I guess.
I did try an EDC trophy and it did give me a concern that getting a mnaual was the wrong box, but I stuck with it. The EDC box is excellent. Shifts are sweet in full auto and when in manual they work really well. The paddles were my only concern as they did not feel 'right' being so high and only covered the top section of the wheel. I dare say you would get used to it, but it was enough to ensure i stayed with the manual.

I agree the red accents are OTT. A pretty simple fix with a wheel paint satin black spray though.
I had thought about that as the finish on them is very good in the flesh, I had thought about just getting the red removed and gloss black done to match the other gloss black on it. Got a few months to make my mind up. sorrento205 said:
Is anybody else experiencing difficulties with their order?
My lease order for a trophy is apparently on hold until the next model year, what does this even mean?!?
I hope not as I need the car in October for the end of the track day season. Mine is just a 280 so perhaps it's just the Trophy.My lease order for a trophy is apparently on hold until the next model year, what does this even mean?!?

I've just had a call that mine has arrived at the dealers.. but I can't get it until a week on Saturday - not the dealers fault, just my availability. Gives me a chance to sort the insurance, I suppose.
Exciting times, good news. Mine has been brought forward to mid-September but I have already got new PFC pads and RBF600 for it Gassing Station | French Bred | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
