Great link. A surprise as to the level complexity they have to manage. The investment to run such a diverse set of product requirements and options must be huge. But, it is the right direction for expensive cars. Everyone has a chance to get what they want, and gets a sense of a very personal experience in the process. The RR Sport, in contrast, comes in two interior color options....yawn.
