Melbourne Red is fantastic, but we prioritized the Mocha Interior first, and just felt that the red exterior wasn't the best match with it (for us)...

I ordered mine with Melbourne Red and Mocha, XLine. It was a little on faith as I could not see the color combo together before hand.

I can't wait until the 30th to pick it up. It is killing me knowing it is already built.

Cool! Can't wait to see it. I think it will still look great, but as a daily driver for my better half, she didn't think that particular combo was for her.

Congrats SC!

Well, this looks quite spectacular - but what does it look like for real? So, it's the end of the day approaching and the car is parked in the shade - what does i look like?

Flavius - in a word, DARK. It's a chameleon...

Sparkly in the sun, but practically black in the shade. Here's a shot pulling it out of the delivery bay and taking it home.

That is pretty cool. I didn't expect it to look so dark in the shade. Hope you enjoy driving it.

LeeAC - here's a couple that I took when we first got it, but the lighting is bad. I'll try to take some better ones after work...
