Not sure if anyone else picked this up, as I don't troll the forum as much as I used to, but this special edition offered in Oz is pretty neat:

How come everyone else is getting the cool colors, and not us Yanks? And the light colored interior is a nice touch- the all black interiors look almost cave like.

 

....most regulars in the Australian forum didn't like it.

I have kids - black over biege anyday. It would be akin to having white carpets in a home with kids - acutally we have polished wood or tiles in our house - no carpets.

 

Watch out for Gomez (Oz member), he despises this colour combo immensely.

 

actually this will be offered in the US...just be patient :p

 

The photo of the interior is showing an aftermarket leather. The factory leather front seats would have plastic seatbacks.

 

It's nice to see some new colors. Maybe it's because we're all addicts, but we've been looking at essentially the same color line up now for quite some time so anything new looks interesting. I think this is a nice shade, though. I also REALLY like the dark blue available in Old Blighty. That is a sharp looking color.

I'd also like to see a different green offered than the current shade.
