Like the idea of getting regular calibers and powder coating later to match the Laguna Blue.
Has any seen the brownstone without the suede upper option ? I have only seen the brownstone with suede upper option.

I would go either Red or Grey, I like the Brownstone, but not on blue. I think Red is the bold sporty choice and grey just looks classic.

Not really a bad choice!!!!

You do realize that the "upper suede" option is the headliner, visors, trim above windshield and rear window, A-pillar trim and area around quarter window. The areas on the dash, doors and center console that are suede are suede on ALL Brownstone. That is part of what makes Brownstone special.

Yes. I've seen the brownstone with the suede upper area but just wanted to get a comparison with how people thought the brownstone would look with the cloth upper area instead in case one was available in that combination.

I haven't seen one without, but I'm sure it would still look very good.

Went ahead and made decision on the interior to be Brownstone and may get the calipers powder coated later. Really excited to get this ordered. Thanks for the input. Stopped at the museum yesterday, but no Laguna Blue coupes or convertibles were being delivered.

Laguna Blue with the Brown interior does not look that good IMO .... That's the one thing I don't like about the Premiere Edition, is the color of the interior (wish they would've let the buyer pick the interior color)... The Brown interior looks better with the darker NRB.

The top 3 interior colors with Laguna Blue are...

1. Light Grey
2. Red
3. Black

The Brownstone interior is a fantastic choice, IMO it looks so much richer than the black, and it is more interesting than the gray with the Laguna blue. There are no bad choices, but some are better than others and I think you made a great choice.

I've mentioned this in another thread but in my 2LT with Kalahari the black actually looks like a deep dark brown which offsets the lighter Kalahari rather nicely, now I don't know if it's just an illusion but it definitely doesn't look black, my '03 C5 had a black interior and this is for sure lighter.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Of course, I agree. It will have the look of the Premier Edition without the extra cost.
