I am torn between these 2 gorgeous cars. The 2007 seems like the obvious choice, but the black headlights of the 2005 draw me in.

I would go with the 2007 even though I have an 05 myself. The G-spiders on the 07 look great and the 07 has the 6 speed trans, nicer tail lights. There are ways to mod/paint your headlamp housing insides if you really want - search the site - some people have done it.

Between the two, hand down to the 07 PB for....white pearl & red leather, 6-speed, update head & tail light

I'm voting for my 04 PB

BTW.... i think I saw scdroptop's 05 PB for sale on ebay : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pebbl...orcev4exp=true

i would take the 07 just because of some of the better features such as headlights and tails. the gauge cluster looks better and 6 speed trans.

My vote is the 07. As others have stated, updated headlights, tails and 6 speed tranny. Im biased tho because of the G-Spiders.

This is a trick question!!!!
But regardless of the year/age of the cars in hand. The black one follows me home.

Get the 07, black is just too hard to take care of, also on hot days it is a lot warmer getting into. Good luck on your decision.

Dang...no love for the 09 Pebble Beach.

But I would get the 07, so you can call it... CANDY CANE!

That and the 07 comes with the LED taillights already.

That's a nice choice to have.

What are peoples thoughts about the red leather? Seems like it would be a little feminine thought I havent seen it in person. I like the current Lexus burgundy leather.

I honestly can't see how people can stand the red interior. If it was a dark red or burgundy it might be classy. But the red is so, well... BRIGHT. I would think that after a while it would get to be too much. But I guess it's one of those polarizing colors: you either hate it or love it! It sure isn't for me.
