That's actually one of the better ones I've seen. The gap is weather stripping, and I wouldn't expect to see any thing different in production. There are pictures of the orange one where one side of the gap is larger than the other, so that is one I'd consider to be a pre-production issue. This one though, I think this is just how it's designed.

Oh ok, because from what I see the corner of the side fender/quarter panel and the corner of the hood are definitely not matched up here, I wasn't aware this was from weather stripping though ?? hmmmm

OMG those are some of the best photos of the 2015 I have seen yet. It looks particularly low and mean in the 5th photo. Also in your "few more" section, the first one of the profile shows it in a way that I have seen in very few photos. Usually in photos it looks like the front end sits higher than the rear end, which I know is not actually true. However in your profile pic the car clearly has a sleek forward rake. Great job!

Actually, that's not the area they were referring to. I agree with you, it's not lined up all that well. The line doesn't flow as nicely as I'd expect.

The weather stripping comment is in respect to the area between the lights where the hood meets the front grill. The gap between the two has exposed weather stripping. I think the Magnetic hides that area much nicer than TY or CO ever will.

I just noticed that the Front and Rear Seats Do Not Match. Look at the Perforation. The Front Seats have the Solid Stipes in the Perforation like the ones seen in the 50th Anniversary Appearance Package, while the Rear Seats have solid Perforation.

Thanks for clarifying what you meant. This is a photo of the Ruby Red that I saw last week. The circled area shows the relationship of the gap line with the weatherstriping and the hood position, along with the way the hood meets the fender cut by the headlight. It was straight.

It's probably because of the air-conditioned front seats.

First time I could sit in the car and it felt great. I'm 6'4 and there was plenty of room. Much more comfortable seating position than the outgoing car. I was very pleased with it overall.

Yes sir and now I see what u were talking about as well. I know these are prototypes and maybe all the excitement and anticipation of seeing a final production car is making me nutty and nit picky !! hahah

How was the reach to the pedals and steering wheel? 6'4" here too. Wondering if it fits us tall people well. I could never get my seating quite right in my 2011. To fit comfortably at the pedals I was straight arming the wheel and vise versa.
