Did you get any more opinions on this? :confuse:
As far as black goes, I ruled that out right away after visiting my local car dealer on multiple occasions and seeing brand new black cars with swirl marks and 0 miles on them (well, maybe 3 miles) in the showroom. Good luck with your choice.
I have a ruby and it hides the dirt really well even up close, as we have primarily red clay dust here. But up close it defineately shows the water spots of our daily predawn drizzles...
The Lexus in Las Vegas has a Ruby Red in UL package. Is Las Vegas too far from where you are? I wish my wife would settle with a Ruby so I can quit now searching days and nights for a car for her.
Good luck again.
Boy, am I ever happy! The ruby is simply stunning...especially so under the sun. I've never seen a more sparkly, metallic color. It's amazingly elegant and 'rich' looking and not at all that gross 'arrest me red.'
If I am not mistaken, cyclopsstan has Cashmere interior and psychdoc has Black interior??? (Black seats and short skirts don't mix well together.) :surprise:
Cashmere is a happier choice for me.

Enjoy your black on black.
I told you the ruby is GORGEOUS and worth serious consideration. They have a ruby/grey on the lot where I am but not the UL package and no nav. I went out there today to look at it again just to make sure I still liked the color which I had seen a couple of months ago only under the bright lights in the showroom. It was even a cloudy day today and I still loved the color. It is so elegant and rich!! I too want the cashmere interior.
BTW, cashmere is also my fav interior color. And it is after much serious mind-torturing struggle that I decided to go with black because I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it clean. I've heard mix reviews from Edmunds members here about the light color interior.
We bought a beautiful ES350 2007 and believe it or not the transfermission went out at about 900 miles
What is your opinion about the following colors:
black on black
black on cashmere
Granite on gray interiors
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Cesar
I wanted a distinctive color and was going to go for the ruby with cashmere but, while it IS a great looking color, I felt that as unique as it was, the uniqueness would wear off and I would get tired of it; my wife and some acquaintances felt sort of the same way so smokey granite it was.
for showing us the black interior. The
brochure doesn't have any pictures with the
black interior, just the cashmere. Sweet ride!

You have a BEAUTIFUL car, Sharms2. I was just teasing before. Very tempting but I have to be realistic. I know myself. I have many other things that I like to do with my time than keeping a car clean. But that is just me.
I read, smiled and laughed at all of your comments of encouragement and information about the "dark side".
Thanks.

Fyi, the car has not been washed in 2 weeks and we've had rain the past several days, so it's not clean. It will give you an idea what a dirty smokey granite looks like. Also posted a "cloudy" shot of the XM antenna inside the rear window, since this seems to be a matter of so much concern lately. I think placement there is so much better than a blob on your trunk lid!
Moon Shell Mica ES this afternoon parked in
front of a store on my way home from
shopping this afternoon. I didn't think it
looked bad at all. The color reminds me of
certain colors back in the early '80s on cars
such as the Cadillac DeVille. I can't
remember what they were called; possibly
Champagne Mist or Misty Mauve. There were
other cars that had this similar color, but
I can't think of the names right now.
Even the Nissan Maximas from the year 1997
through 1999 may have had a similar color,
but I'm not sure on this though.
Hey, it's a light color! (Hee-Hee!)
She ended up buying it. Got it two weeks ago.
The car is very nice. I like it best in black. She got it in silver. Didn't like the color, I found it made the car look bland. The drive of the car was surprisingly good. Powerful V6, OK handling abilities, VERY NICE interior, etc. A great car for people who want to drive around in comfort.
I can understand the concept of the safety factor of not being able to input locations while you're driving, but it totally ignores the fact that your passenger could input a new address. Imagine if you could not dial numbers on your cell phone if it sensed that you were in motion.
Even though I would be a little scared to try the this, in my professional, I really need to enter in addresses while I'm driving. Here is the link:

Good Luck.
My wife and I decided to go with the black on black
Thx!

That sounds like something you really should have rectified. No way is what the dealer told you the truth. Demand to speak to ther service manager and insist on this being fixed!
