Here's Polar/blue. The blue is amost black and looks great.



Contrary to other posts, I have only see one other Polar car in Atlanta...

That is exactly the color combo I saw here in Chicago. As you stated, it was the only Polar Silver car I ever saw. It looks great and as you said the blue interior and floor mats almost look black but not quite. A very striking car.

I second the initial suggestion of lapis/natural. My lapis/natural 996 cab gets compliments wherever I go - very classy looking.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow (saturday) so the pics are really helpful. Roy - do you have a pic with the interior color showing? If anyone else can post Lapis combos or the polar silver it'd be great... or the orient red! Thanks! Marty

No carbon - too much $$$ - I love the alu look more anyway. I f only they could use real aluminium like on the 360

Has anyone ever seen a light tan or cream colored interior? (any photos?)- i think that would look good with a Cobalt pcar.

As I recall, you have to get the lower dash and instrument hump in deviating color as well if you order the deviating upper dash. May be metropol overload. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

My $.02 - If you get graphite grey int and decide not to go w/ one of the blue ext's, get natural grey deviating carpet. It's dark grey, doesn't show dirt like graphite, looks great (I have this combo in my C2). Don't forget the natural grey mats. Otherwise the metropol carpet looks fantastic.

Also, for any int other than dark color, I highly recommend the leather steering column. Gets rid of the big blob of black plastic between the lighter dash and steering wheel, is nicely stitched and finished, and is one of the least expensive leather options (I also did this in my C2).

Cheers,
-DT

At the bottom of this page, you can click on a thumbnail for two interior and two exterior shots. E-mail me if you want bigger ones.
