Default Need help decide between these two C4S...

I am torn between these two cars I've been eyeing for a while... need some help...

Car #1: White C4S, Black/Sand Beige interior, Adaptive sports seats, Nav, Bose
Car #2: Meteor Gray C4S, Black standard leather, Power seats with Alcantara inlays, Alcantara gear shift/hand brake/steering wheel, Nav

Both are almost the same price, and almost the same milage (Gray one has 4K less miles). I never liked Sand Beige before, but in this white car, it kinda looks ok... I'd be tracking the car, so the Adaptive sports seats are great, but again the Sand Beige is not that sporty... Alcantara is SO NICE, but seats are standard, and white one's got better options... hard to decide.

UPDATE:
JUST put a deposit on TOTALLY ANOTHER CAR!

- GT Silver C4S
- X51 Power Kit
- PCCB Ceramic Brakes
- Full Black Leather interior
- Carrera Classic wheels
- Power Heated Seats
- Bose

The car doesn't have Sport Seats, Sports Chrono, or Navigation... but I think I CAN LIVE without them and add if needed later. It cost me $5K more to get the above, but I think it is well worth the extra money!

Any opinion is appreciated... pics follow:

I am very fond of meteor so I vote for it, in the white car I think the sand with a black dash is a bit much, but that could be me. Both look very sharp.

i'll take the white...like better the wheels (also lighter wheels), the adaptive, full leather. But it's really what you like, our oppinions can only confuse you more!

The sand beige interior will be cooler in the summer heat.

yeah, i think you screwed yourself with this post - will just confuse you more! :P i was thinking of doing the same type of poll between similarly equipped '09's - meteor grey vs. arctic silver.

oh well, i'll add my opinion: meteor grey - GREAT color/options.

I optioned both cars as if new, and White one's $5K more if was optioned. Can get em at the same price now...

Confusing...

If you can't decide just get both.

Of course you should care - if those things are important to you.

I don't care for all that Alcantara - basically faux suede (very high quality faux suede) and looks really funky to me - like I imagine Roger Moore in it back in the 70s - Live and Let Die - add some fuzzy dice and you'll be set (OK - that's just crass of me, sorry). Swap out the wheel and the shifter, and then maybe OK...

And the White car; I bet the interior looks good and its just an unflattering photo - maybe not the best choice on a White car...

...but still, White/Sand / Grey/Black - such extremely different looks. Which is you?

Bose - did you listen to it? Does it sound better - do you care about the sound anyway? Same with the seats - is one enough better than the other to make/break it? Heated seats - daily driver? Cold where you live?

You gotta drop a lotta change for one of these - get one that really appeals to you.
