What color interior on the GS?

What's the purpose of the car... driver, show car, little of everything?

The Flint Mica from the '04 LS would look really nice on a GS

I guess with tan or black interior, I'd go red. Arrest me red. A little darker than Candy Apple.

With a gray interior, I'd do a deep metallic gray, almost black.

Neon green with yellow racing stripe (j/k)

Seriously though,

some derivative of Spectra Blue (like a lot darker)
Navy blue of some sort
Cinnabar derivative (darker)

just my opinion of course: but i have always been a fan of a good clean white with red or blue pearl in it....on a GS that would just make people mouth "damn" as you roll by

EDIT - in the sun of course

personnally, i am in LOVE w/Diamond Pearl White... that w/a black interior = (in my eyes at least). there is something about that color at night that i love. however, i picked the car i have now b/c i like the color combo (millenium silver/black). i also thought about an ivory interior, but i dont think i'd ever let anyone to sit inside the car

Cinnabar with Ecra or Ivory interior and another coat of clear.

I made phone arrangements for a '98 Cinnabar GS400 2 weeks before I bought the car I have now. I talked to the salesman the night before to let him know I'l lbe there. Drove 3 hours to Sacramento and he sold 30 minutes before I got there. I WANT CINNABAR!!!!! (But Champaigne/Burnished Gold is hot too.) No offense but silver is WAAYY too common.

Just look at this color : drooling smiley here :
