Hello and thank you in advance..
Good find.
My edition of Grants book did state that publication date constraints could result in late-announced updates for 2012 being omitted from the book.
At least you have that site to fill on the blanks for 2012. Tomorrow I can dig up the electronic addendum Grant sent out a few months ago, see if it has better info.

A few small points
1) The ASM2 in the S and MY12.25 cars has a lower reverse gear (unlike ASM1 and the retained 6MT) so does not slip or need reving to get up an incline
2) The ASM2 box is more efficient than ASM1/6MT so although it is only 10BHP more the WHP is higher (from BR dyno tests)
3) you can now spec a MY12.25 up to S spec but it will cost you more than an S

I don't think they made the S in 2010. I believe it is 2011+ only but I could be wrong.
Just incase you missed it 
Well... earlier today I pulled the trigger on 2011 S Blk/Blk with 3500 miles. still under warranty until may 14 and since it was certified i am able to add extended one for 3 k a year which i will add 2 .( warranty was a big factor for me) should get it delivered tomorrow and will post some pictures.
For now there is the dealer link-

I loved the way it drives and the finishes inside where amazing and beautiful.
I went and drove an R8 an hour before just for my peace of mind and the R8 was very nice, nothing bad to say except it just didn't wow me or felt special.
Very happy with my choice, so thank you all as without your help and guidness i would have 100k more in the bank but would be without this very big .
So now The Q is .. to 3M or not?

I have 3M on a Midnight Blue and you have to look very close to see the line. Mine is across the whole front-end and up the hood--20-inches. I had a heavier 3M put on the headlights to protect them better. Put it also on the back of the Mirrors and a small strip along the door edges (I'm very careful with the door edges--but just in case).
Also consider having "Crystal Fusion" applied to the windshield--that saved me from a significant rock-strike. Watch the video:

Love the leather interior and stitching....and the smell of AM leather is oh so intoxicating.
Is that steering wheel all Alcantara?
I dont remember the name, it feel like suede
