You're still driving in ***** mode....Drive the car....Its probably the inside pad doing most of the work on that wheel? They've also not been bedded yet most likely..

Looks like some initial brake dust accumulated from the new pads on the new slotted rotor. The metallic compound in the pad is prone to oxidizing and leaving rust colored residue. I'd recommend driving it a little more and letting the brakes actually break in/bed a bit. Also, if the car was sitting on the lot for a bit, it's not uncommon to see some of this.
enjoy....your car is not broken.

Going to have to agree with a few of the others.....get out and drive it like you stole it. Never in my life have I followed a break in procedure on anything, cars, trucks, UTVs, 4 wheelers, motorcycles....

Dealers call it "lot rot"....

This is easy! Some one washed the car then did not drive it and it sat in one place. Happens with my C6 and will actually stick the pads to the rotor and even make a bit of noise for a few miles. For me it would be no big thing.
