2Savvy,

It's silver with black interior... I wanted a blue on tan, but I just can't wait any longer!

Good choice.. Trust me the Blue or any dark colour is too much maintanence.. They look so sweet when they are new but when you start to get nicks here and there it begins to look old quick.. At least with the Silver it hides its age easily.. The only draw back with the Silver is they are too many on the road.. Well at least that is the case here in Toronto..

I used to live in Kitimat, BC about 7 years ago.. Really miss the mountain views..
