Sorry but Laguna Blue Z51 with black 3lt interior but I do love black! I've had a lot of black cars but they're so much work to keep up.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences both good and bad. It really helped me make some decisions. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Been wanting one since I was about ten. Forty three now and just as excited

Sounds awesome! I was hesitant on the comp seats since I haven't been able to try them out. But I LOVE the look of them!
