The car is Graphite with Gray interior.
Actually, I'm curious. Yours is the first I've seen with a Designo package and the Performance Package. What color wood did you end up with ? black (030) or the maple?

Question

Since you work in a camera store, which camera/model did you use to shoot the pictures?

Some answers to posted questions

The problem that I reported with shifting has been corrected by the dealer. They flash loaded a change and now the lag I was experiencing, particularly during the 1-2 shift, is gone.

The camera I use is a Nikon D200 with a Promaster 18-200 zoom lens.

Beautiful, I love designo Graphite. Would you mind taking interior photo? I haven't seen many pics of the interior.
