I saw the car in person on saturday. words or pictures do it no justice. it is perfectly spec'd out. the painted inners of the wheels are in meteor grey; making the entire car look just perfect. painted sills are not necessary with this color. the natural grey looks stunning; almost monochromatic with the rest of the car. I will spec mine out exactly the same; maybe minus the ceramics.

does the nat. grey look/feel much different than the std. black? I'm wondering if it's worth the upcharge over std. black. Also, any idea how you think the nat. grey would go with slate?

Chris, the best way for you to find out if you like natural grey vs standard black leather is to go to your dealership to ask if they have real samples of either or better yet, a car with either types.

Natural Grey is really nice in person. It looked black to me when I first saw it. It's charcoal, which is nice and won't look bad after a year like the lighter shades of gray interior. I think it's a very good alternative to black.

Very very good...the Porsche in dark colours makes its lines better looking adding something sinister

Im thinking of ordering meteor gray with natural brown leather interior. I've seen several F430s with this combination and I feel it looks really sharp. What do you guys think? BTW, what happened to the sport shifter option, did Porsche just make it standard?

Meteor is absolutley stunning, it really shows off the Turbo well.

E55AMG: Chris, trust us Natural Grey owners, you will not be disapointed.

I think all these "darker silvers" fifteen minutes is just about up. Just as was the case with titanium silver being overdone on every car, the same is starting to be true for these grays. No question that just as silver looks great on the occassional car still, so too does gray but please with all these names ...

I do like the interior color alot and think with some CF in there it would look unbelievable.
