I respectfully disagree. Tomorrow, when it's about 100 degrees out, go to a parking lot and press your bare hand onto the roof or hood of a white car.
Then do the same on a black car.
After you get out of the burn ward of the hospital, report back your findings.
No I'm not stupid , plus that would not give anyone number . Myth busters actually did this and measured inside and it was only 2-3 degree difference

I own a Hot lava and one of the things I don't like is the red accents in the seats. I'm fine with the stitching, but not the red patch. Under the hood doesn't look good either, but I won't be driving down the street or around a track with the hood open.

Overall, I love the color. The differences in opinions is why they offer 7 different colors. Quite honestly, this car looks great in every color! The only one I have yet to see in person is the Asphalt, but if it's anywhere near as good as it is in pictures, it's an awesome color as well.

If I was rich, I'd have one in each color. Only problem would be, what color to drive each day of the week.

Here's an unscientific, yet accurate test(s) on car paint color and temps...

http://www.tom-morrow-land.com/tests/cartemp/index.htm

The interior temps didn't vary all that much but the paint temps varied more than 50 degrees.
