mine is black and I think it is a damn fine color for these cars. I think red is a little too flashy, at least for my taste. If you want to see some go the Photo gallery mine is in there and I'm sure you could find some red ones as well.

I agree, interior color will limit your choices. Miami? Forget black or red. The sun will kill red, and black will make it like an oven. Silver is a great color here in Fl. So is white.

One thing to consider in choosing a color is how do you drive and how much attention do you want to attract with the nice police officers? Red or anything brightly colored will get more notice. Some people need all the stealth they can get, LOL.
Black is hot and also higher maintenance i.e. more difficult to keep looking good. Any swirl marks or imperfections in the paint really stand out, not to mention dust and water drops.
It is possible to swap interior colors. The dash takes some time getting in and out but not that bad.

I live on a gravel road and the metallic grey is great ( I think it's the V-9 stock code?) Unfortunately my black BBS mesh rims get fairly dirty and they're a sob to clean
Heres a bad picture. I wish I knew how to put a decent pic on here.

Thanks. I had to really dumb down the image to get it to post on here. Some folks have their images as sharp as a bell..I have yet to figure that out as well.

Thanks Diablone! I'll do that tonight when I get home from work.
Thanks for the praise Nekky- she is in great shape. 75K original miles, flawless interior (albeit burgandy!). I plan on keeping this one as is with the exception of a basic airdam/spoiler.
