Step away from the car! It really does look nice. What are the interior color choices for Atomic Silver? I think black interior would nice with it.

I have the Dark Rose, or "red" in mine. Really contrasts well with the exterior colour, which as others have said really does seem to change colour depending on lighting.

Mind you I don't know if that's a colour combo available to all. The variations across the regions are unbelievable, and I do wonder how necessary that is.

Wanted that color with black interior. However the Mrs., who will drive this car 95% of time, did not like it. Can't quite figure that one out. How can she not like that. Gorgeous!

What interior color did you get? I saw the tan and the red, but not with the atomic silver. I prolly woulda stuck with the black, but would have been nice to compare.

Actually have nothing at the moment. Waiting on my order to be filled. We ended up ordering the black with the gray interior. Which I am okay with. But I really was digging that atomic silver.

I have Starfire Pearl. I saw two different Atomic Silvers one on Wednesday morning and one on Wednesday afternoon. I am realizing how much I like the color....especially with tint! It looks way better on the road than the dealer lot amid the sea of new 3IS.

Just to clarify, which color do you like better? Atomic Silver or Starfire? We have neither here...

I got a non-F sport so both Starfire Pearl and Atomic Silver were available to me when I purchased. I think I like the 2 colors equally now. At the time I got my car I liked the Starfire Pearl much better, but over the past 2 months I have really come to like the Atomic Silver after seeing it on the road.

I love the look of the atomic, but I'm leaning starfire because the dealer mentioned they look tan/champagne in the "right light". I would consider it the wrong light since I hate champagne on my cars! Anyone agree with that? I have to order mine so I might not get to see it in person beforehand.

I love my starfire and it looks amazing in all light...and when it has a light layer of dust/dirt in between washes the pearl actually pops more. Plus the white/black contrast of the grille in the front is nice and aggressive.

In real life the atomic looks like a mixture of champagne, light gray, and tan. It's like a darker shade of normal champagne with a gray hue. The gray and tan are the primary colors I see in person, with a hint of champagne.
