I have mixed feelings on the colors. First I wanted a blue (and test drove that color in a T because that is all they had to drive locally). I also looked at a sold BE that they had sitting to be PDI as that was another possibility for me originally.
Then I started thinking about interiors. I realized that I don't care as much about what the exterior looks like as what the interior looks like. That seems odd, I know, but mostly others see the outside, where I mostly see the inside, so inside is more important to me. Many of the interiors are rather "chopped up" color-wise. In fact, one pro reviewer called them a "cacophony of colors". Headliner one color, dash another, carpets yet another, seats a fourth, etc. The colors that are the best for this (least cacophonous) are the BE (very sharp, interior, BTW) and the plain black. One concern with the BE interior was that with the black exterior, it was, as some have said - "too much black". My other concern with the BE was the possibility (and it will be impossible to say if this concern is valid until one has had a BE for quite a long time, maybe years) that the black leather over red fabric seats might eventually pick up dirt and stains in the red fabric see-thru areas.
So what I chose was the MSM RTL-E because it was the only exterior that I liked that they make with the regular all black interior. So it has been bought and I am hoping it shows up at the dealer this week.
