Really depends on how well you take care of our car. Do you only hand wash once a week or do you drive it though the local car wash. If so I would go with white. If you are serious about exterior car care go with Daytona. It is a beautiful color.

You asked about Magma Red or Black interior. Having had a "bold" two-tone interior on a previous car, it dated itself quickly IMO. It really popped and looked amazing when new, but a couple of years in I absolutely hated it...to the point I considered new seats and changing the door panels before $$ and sense kicked in.

So, while I love a well-done black interior, it does lack a pop factor. The alternative though of "generating" some excitement through bold color inserts is cool up-front, but enormously tiring as time goes by.

Good Luck!

I currently have Monsoon grey/ chestnut interior. Considered Daytona but instead ordered Lava grey/ titanium for my incoming 15'.

I looked at Daytona gray as well, but it was just too "gray" for me. I also really liked Sepang, and I actually had it ordered, but changed at the last minute to Lava Gray. Lava is a really awesome color in person.

I love the way it bronzes up in the sun.

Great points. This to me is why stitching and interior trim are so important.

I think I may go with glacier white with black optics and magma red\black nappa. it's so hard to decide the car looks beautiful in every color on the pallet. It's gorgeous.

You got to wash her every week gently ;-)
