Here is my delima. I ordered the vista blue and when it came in this week it was silver with the crimson int. After seeing the silver/red one in person I like it a lot. But I also like the vista blue I ordered. I am stuck at a crossroads because I like the red int a lot but I also like the vista blue and I cant have both. Just thought I would run a quick poll to see what everyone elses thoughts are. I would be happy with either one. Just dont know if I like the vista blue and another 3months of waiting more than the red int. I like the silver and think it looks good but the blue was my favorite color. So what would you all do in my situation considering Ive already waited 4-5 months already?

You have to go with whatever you like. If you choose something different you might doubt your decision later. Not sure where you live but I live in Michigan and have been waiting for 4 months now, and probably have a month and a half to two months left. No matter if I got my car now or later, it would be going into the garage for the winter hybernation. If you are in a colder climate and plan on doing the same thing, then a few more months won't hurt. I voted for VB, but my vote might be a little biased

Voted Silver
Duhh!


If you at all feel that you will have any regrets,
You should probably wait for the Car you ordered.

I would take the silver and red just because it looks better together than the Blue and Black.

Is the dealer charging you for the ICAP?


Get exactly what you want. You'll be happier in the end.

Like others have said, get what YOU want and like best. I do like the new Vista Blue, but I voted for the Satin Silver with the ICAP.

I have an 05 GT in Satin Silver with the ICAP. After having it for almost a year now, I still get head turns, thumbs up and comments on the cars style, color and especially the ICAP and IUP interior. This was the first silver car I've ever owned and have not regretted it in the least. Easy to keep clean looking. Here's a few pics of mine.

I voted Vista blue/black... only because that was your original choice. I think it's worth it to wait a few months to get what you really want. However, I like the silver/red combo a lot... and if it grew on you that much, then get it. Just don't go getting something you might now want just to have it sooner.

And Craig... I had never seen pics of your car before. Very nice. Some shiny 4" rolled chrome tips would look great on your car, I must say. I'll be shipping out the Magnaflows to you this week. It's raining here, so I'm waiting for the sun to come back out before I finish painting the mufflers.

you'll be looking at the inside more than the outside, so I'd go for the red interior.

Sometimes it's hard to know what you want. I had a 2006 Tungsten (light graphite, no IUP) on order. Then I found a good deal on a Redfire (dark charcoal, with IUP) on a lot and bought that instead. I can't even express how happy I am with my decision. I am sooooo glad that I didn't go through with my order, even though I *thought* that's what I wanted at the time.

That being said, here's my opinion on your choices...
* Get IUP, it is definitely worth it.
* I love the dark charcoal interior.
* Vista Blue is the

Well Im about to go to the dealer they said they will let me borrow the silver one for half the day (till I get out of work). So I will have the oprtunity to test drive it a decent amoutn with no one else there to try to sell me either way. My problem is I didn't know how much I would like the red int till I saw it in person. After seeing it last night I likey. I would be happy with either though and not regret either one. Each has its +. We will see though. :jedi: <--- basically explains the difficulties im having internally now. Las night I couldnt sleep. Why do lifes decision have to be so hard. But I know for the next 2 hrs or so all i will be doing is this :drive: .
