Secret squirrel. Could this be a dream coming true?

Have I ordered one? If I have I will be going for the Emira i4 with four pot turbo charged AMG engine, double clutch gear box, with touring suspension, in their Nimbus Grey with a black leather (there is talk of being able to personalize the interior: black, tan and alcantara aka Aston AMR… fingers crossed), alcantara interior with yellow stitching and yellow brake calipers.

Here comes trouble…
