Default Real pictures are up.

It doesn't seem to look too bad in the pictures. It appears to be a decent combo. Not sure how it looks in person though. It's definitely more of a luxury look than a sporty look. I may go look at it this weekend just for kicks.

That espresso brown looks great. So did you check it out in person? They were ahead of their time with brown. Saab had a cool brown color, and then my favorite color on Infiniti FX is beryllium. Now even Porsche has Macadamia.

I think you'll be surprised in person then, because I clearly see brown in the highlights. Especially the straight on shot of the front of the car where you see it in the bumper and leading edge of the hood. Personally, I love having the black headliner in mine. Totally changes a car.
