@AZ_Doug - That is so good to hear! I have another car that is a beautiful Tour de France blue and chose the red because, yes, I love color, and I thought they would look great together. I actually didn't really anguish much over the exterior color! My hubby wanted me to go with the more conservative Gray/Black combo that he always gets, but this is my car and he can suck it when he wants to drive it. I'm sure he'll be getting his own soon enough anyway after he drives mine a few times.
I'm so glad that you are happy with your choice. I have that matte wood in my current gas-guzzling MB and love the look. I abhor fingerprints and worry a bit about those door handles, but figure I can get them blacked out somehow if necessary, but I love the clean look of them as is so may have to just carry a cloth around with me everywhere I go.
Enjoy your baby and keep your eyes on the road! Although once the AP kicks in you won't even have to do much of that...
