I love it!
Keep the stripes if you like them, they dont make the car look any less INCREDIBLE!
If I could have pushed my budget I would have bought this car!

Four wheel eye candy! Everyone seems to love these strong colors, myself included, but most of us drive gray, black, or white. Why is that?

looks gorgeous, what are your thoughts on resale w/ such a color.. i feel that an enthusiast would love the color if available for same price as normal color... but dealer tells me they sit and sit and sit...

maybe im just in the minority that i would take mexico/riviera over white if the same price>?

Why? Not the most appropriate metaphor but . . . "Because there is the girl that you date and the girl that you marry".

A dealer will tell you they sit and sit b/c they price them too high (10 interested parties for a Silver versus maybe one for a Speed Yellow - odds are greater that you'll sell the silver one more quickly).

No one ever asked me about my thoughts on resale of a less common color but if I cared, which I don't, I'd weigh the units of value I get in owning this particular color versus what I may lose if and and when I sell it. The PTS may not have much value on the resale market but I would happily eat it's cost because I've gotten much more value out of it than I put in.
