I agree, Black Sapphire Metallic. It's got to be black!

In case anyone was wondering, I decided to tally the votes manually instead of creating a poll. I've found that people will answer by posting a reply and forget to cast a vote using the forum poll.

A little more work, but this will increase the accuracy of the results.

My gut feeling tells me Black will outnumber the closest competing color by x2.

Spoke to very large NY dealer and he said SS2 is #1 color, Black a close second.
