The red is sexy, but the dark silver will be much easier to live with in the long term. AND if you tint the windows to keep it cool and protect the leather, the the tint will blend with the dark silver versus contrast, as it would with the red.

I say Go Graphite.

I was sold on the Graphite, until I saw the dark red. I think the dark red will be a more unique color. I have only seen 1 at a dealership. I have see 3 graphite, 2 black, and 4 silver around town. Either color, I'll buy it from you, in about 2 years.

Either way, you win and congrats! But as you asked, I'm with Rex: Graphite and tint. Would look so sweet! Tho I must say, the M45 and the G35C are among the few cars that I actually like in their respective shades of red. For some reason, I look at almost everything else that's red and if it doesn't have 500+ ponies, it doesn't work for me....

My vote goes for the silver, but my strongest preference is for the M45 in black with a subtle spoiler. Its perfect that way.

No way.

Graphite with no spoiler and the Willow interior with the black wood accents. Sexy!

I think Black is best for the M. My father might get one in about 2 years. Im wondering what is the M's top speed?

Well my wife is 1, 2 on the Garnet Fire and Graphite. The willow interior looks very good on both and is a nice relief from the oppressive black.
