Go for the black one. Waiting is too painful.

Well, my vote goes to carbon black all the way .

Within 1 week, i shouldn't doubt about that . If it has all the options you want, why not?

Don't knock the Mystic Blue either. But color is always a personal choice. Attempt to look at every color and see which one rings your bell. To me, the Mystic blue with Auburn and black interior is the best. The Alpine white is great looking as well - very elegant.

I would take white over black, personally.


White is the easiest color to take care of. You can compound scratches out with ease.

White always makes any car look bigger. It is easier to let go without a daily bath.

The ast black car I had was my 84 Corvette. Way way too difficult to maintain. Was almost heartbreaking.
