Thanks for the post, Matt.

Some of the dealers around here tried really hard to convince me to buy an AT as well, telling me that they wouldn't receive a MT for a really long time. I'll keep my eyes out for MT's in the Raleigh-Durham area.

Some photos Sara took from our trip to the dealer yesterday.

Looking at those fog light panels on Asphalt pretty much convinced me that fog lights are needed. In my opinion, they just seem blank. Maybe I'll think differently when I see them on Whiteout.

One thing that I hadn't noticed in photos is how powerful an outline the front fenders give this car.
They look really strong looking at the car straight on.

Glorious engine bay. Plenty of breathing room to work with, and well laid out.

I can't say enough about how much I love the interior layout. The seat fabric feels quality, and the bolsters will definitely hold you in place.

Rear shot that includes BOGUS DEALER STICKER ... Definitely telling them to leave that off mine

Thanks for those pics, Matt. Asphalt is my color of choice too!

edit: just had to mention that I LOOOOOOOOOVE the center console in these cars. So minimalist.

Thanks for the pics Matt. My FR-S has a "Mark Jacobson Toyota" sticker. I'll be removing it when I have some time

.

I agree, Nathan. The center console is great!

After seeing Asphalt, I'd have to agree that it's an awesome color.

It looked really nice, but I'm still going to stick with my original decision of Whiteout. I haven't seen a bad color on this car.

Nice pics Nathan! This car looks better everytime I see it :happy0180:

rbrtndrws · 05-25-2012, 10:41 AM

I'm really liking silver. I know some people say it looks like a Fleet vehicle but the color is nice in person!

The less attention I get, the better!
