OK guys, ill send the USB with the red interior! But bear in mind, it has the steering wheel in the correct position

After I saw the USB with Red i was like "yup, not going to ask my wife what colour she wants, will just order what I like, and she can drive it"

I tell you, a blue Aston Martin Vanquish has to be the most beautiful car in the world. I keep saying if I win the lotto it will be my first purchase.

Yes they make black Hondas but I am not interested in the exclusivity of the USB color for the IS. it's just not my cup of tea. That's all.

I like Black more than USB.

Black and white never go out of fashion.

Another twist of events. This loaded USB is sold but another AWD 250 F Sport with the exact equipment I want is available which is even better! Only 23$ per month more than the Obsidian RWD. I cannot hesitate any longer. I must decide tomorrow morning...

Any final words? . Or

Sorry the USB sold, not surprised though, it is a hot color and somewhat hard to find. You really should get exactly what and can live with though. Patience is a virtue (so I have been told LOL) I would get exactly what I want whether it be the one available now or if thats not it, I would wait for that perfect car.

I probably wouldn't be too discouraged about the USB being sold because that one is AWD.

If you still have an option to choose or special order, I would go for the USB in RWD instead.

I've never owned this color, I just couldn't pass up this opportunity. Thanks for all your support, especially Wednesday and dstopsie!

Now for some modding fun...
