If she insists on buying it, then RED.

P.S. When do they plan on finishing it

My wife insisted on buying it, so she got silver.

It's decent power for her needs, rwd, and very luxurious.
How many 30k cars have dual zone climate control, a huge ass sunroof, power seats/leather, 10 way adjustable with memory driver/passenger seats, bose 7speaker sound system with center speaker and ambience, power telescoping/tilting steering wheel with memory... and teh list goes on.

Amazing amount of luxury standard features for the price. Just slow though, and a little awkward looking.

Long story short... go with the black.

Lol, I don't think it's that bad looking..... Definitley a chick car tho...... She's in love with that car, I tried getting her to look at others (G35, 350Z, A4....) but she's set in getting this one..... It's got some potential w/ mods (rather pricey), w/ pullies, chip, intercooler, exaust, etc., plus there are a few kits out for it.....

Oh well it's on her, she's leaning towards silver....... We'll see where it goes from here...... Thanks for your input guys.....

silver is so boring. The black and the blue colors are so much better. There are some in my parking garage and they look good. But, silver is just boring on that car.

Hot car from every angle but the side (or any angle that you can see that nasty ass)... it reminds me of the BMW 318Ti... which was also "unfinished"

If she really wants it....I like the blue with the 5 spoke rims that are on the silver pic above.

The style doesn't do anything for me. My wife would rather have a new T-Bird convertable than anything. If you can't talk her out of it...then I choose red.
