What do you know now that would make you get the graphite silver instead of the brilliant? ^^
I don't know, it's just the shade of the silver shows the body contours better. I think Brilliant Silver is kind of like white, tends to wash out the car's feature.

I also have black interior. Whick I like very much.

Graphite looked liked a old man Grey to me. I got Silver because I thought it looked sharper than Graphite. I was going to get athens Blue but they didnt have any in stock, and Im too lazy for black lol.

Black on Stone IS available - it's what I have...

JeffNader - the outside color will have little to no effect on the interior temp, so go for the color you prefer most on the exterior. On the interior, I'd agree with other on here - go as light as you can to help with the heat. Besides, the black on black is pretty played out - I get HUGE compliments everywhere I go for my Black/Stone. Check it out in person, I think you'll like it.

they had a stone interior brilliant silver at my dealer fully loaded too. But I wanted graphite so I skipped it. But it does look nice.

Other options would be a different color exterior i guess....
Man, there's much enthusiam with colour choices........

Get what colour turns your crank bro. In your heat, it won't make much odds what colour you choose: they'll all be hot, but tint will make the difference for you.

All our colours are great -- the darker ones are beautiful, the lighter ones are lower maintenance.

G/L and enjoy your new ride.

I have a diamond graphite with stone int. It doesn't show that southwest dust we get like black. You can't keep a black car clean here for more than a couple of days, although the car duster helps. At least there's no mud because there's no water.

Definitely black on stone...not being biased or anything ...The maintenance of keeping in clean is really not that bad...But then again I garage my car...All I have to do is wash it once a month and use a California Duster every few days and it looks clean...but good luck finding YOUR G...

I got black on black and I love it, but the black on stone does look great too. I'd honestly be happy with either though. Try to find whichever has the best options.

I agree with the Stone recommendation on the interior. It's what I have. Just remember, Black is a pain to keep nice. SWIRL MARK removal will be your life. Everything shows. It looks bada$$ after some major detailing, but it is a real pain. I chose White for that reason!

My tint: All metallic: 50% front, 35% sides, 15% rear.... Enjoy!!!

wow thanks for all the responses. I think Black on black or black on gray will both please me, so whichever is avaliable will probably be my choice.
