Thanks for the pics... I love the Nasca leather. It feels so much softer than the Dakota. I just was loving the idea of the Natural Brown contrast to the Carbon Black.

I think I will probably switch (great, there goes another $3000+). I may stay with the CB, but may go to Space Gray as an alternative. I like your choice of wood and will probably give that a go as well.

Any word on how the long term wear of the Nasca is compared to the Dakota? My Dakota is wearing very well after about 15000 miles. No cracks, creases and looks basically new.

Thanks!

jasonrhcastle; it is definately worth the $3000 for the nasca leather, but you have to get the ventilated seats

SolidSnake2634; it's the sport automatic and I love it!
