Default Colour choice for is250 f-sport?

So i'm going to order a car tomorrow, i'm contemplating between white exterior with either the red or black interior. i'm 17, so i guess age isn't really a problem, but is the red hard to sell? thanks in advance! was going to go for the black, but it gets key-ed by people too easily...

He means people scratching his car with keys. Thing is, no colour will stop that, white will make it difficult to see however!

If I could go back I would get the silver lining with red interior. I went with silver lining and light grey interior which is still amAzing but the red is better.

Does the Matador Red Mica for 3IS have the subtle metallic sparkles that are yellow/gold in color? I saw IS Convertible with Matador Red Mica (per the sales rep) that looked very nice. My wife and I were just drawn to that color on the show floor.

Both our F Sports have been white over black. The new 3IS will have many more mods than our 2IS. I'm kinda addicted to this forum site, lots of ideas...good thing I don't have lots of money, yet
