Default Color Pref??? Briliant Black or Phantom Black?
What is your preference Briliant Black or Phantom Black? My dealer ordered me Phantom but I susppect it is to jack up the price of the car. I have not seen them side by side in real life.

Default phantom is much sexier than brilliant black in person.
if you haven't seen it in person, go to your local dealer and see if they have cars in each color so you can compare.

Default BB...Phantom black is very nice, but my pref is BB.
When BB is washed, waxed, and polished properly, well, nuff said.

Default btw, now that i looked at the configurator,
$750 is a significant cost for a slight change of color- at least to me it is. i'll probably order brilliant black.

Default I believe you're paying for the metallic paint...
...vs. the non-metallic brilliant black.
