Not yet. Still at port processing which has been brutal. Hope to have it next week!

Anyone have Gentian with any beige interiors? Or beige interiors with blue stitch?

I saw a GB at the dealer when I was getting ready to order mine with the Beige interior and didn't really care for it. But that's also my taste. It was a cab too.

I will tell you this... when clean Gentian Blue is such an amazing color.

Agreed just can’t capture it at all in a photo. Picked the color without being able to see it in person first and am really glad I went with it!

I agree that when it is clean, my GB car his gorgeous. However, I've noticed that even the slightest bit of road dust dulls the shine considerably. GB is probably not as bad as black, but it is close.

My experience is it doesn't get as dirty looking as quickly as my previously owned black cars, but Gentian Blue loses some of it's luster a day or two after washing. Still looks great IMO, but doesn't have the "pop" as when freshly washed.

I have found that after putting ceramic coating on my GB Cabriolet it does stay less dusty and gives that freshly washed "pop" longer than the first month I had it and it was without ceramic coating.

I installed the ceramic myself. Super easy to do, and it did make a difference. SW FL living too...for context and comparison.
