color combos and customization?

You may want to check that out for the 55. No guarantees, but it is worth a look into.
Keep me posted about your interior color and if you get the SL65 w/ Stone.

It is not like they don't have the material available. Never understood why Europe got their choice of so many more interior and exterior colors.
Yes, keep us posted and good luck.
