2015 Colors
Anyone seen the 2015 GLK colors yet?
I'm ambivalent between a BMW 2015 X1 xDrive35i mineral grey/red coral leather vs waiting to see in the GLK might be offered in a red interior similar to the C Class for 2015.

That sounds like a really striking color combo. One thought - red interiors are a beast to sell in the used car market and it will be there someday, right? Of course you can trade it in and watch the dealer make faces or worse yet knock $500 off the asking price knowing he'll have it 6 months.

Thanks for the input, but every red interior car I've owned has had no difficulty on the used market. And, I've owned many, both domestic and import: from Ford - Mercedes - BMW - Corvette et al.
In any case, I buy what I want to own and drive and not for the next person down the line. Cars are an emotional attachment to me and I buy what I inspires me at the time. Maybe I've been fortunate in finding buyers and selling them although I've also had good luck in enjoying them while they're in my possession.
Thanks again for the input, though.

Interesting thoughts. I may need to re-study the market. Perhaps things have changed. My experience as shown weak sales in the sedans, SUV's and luxury but acceptability in sportier and sports cars. I'll pay close attention again. Thanks.
