The color you are calling rust is known as "Cedar" and is an excellent choice with the black exterior. On the roadster, it is awesome, a rare find.
You will miss the stick shift but if you had it, your fiancee' would end up driving the SRT all the time. Leaving you with wimpy.
trust me, I know
roadster with a stick
&
wife with an SRT
Doh! Sorry about that!

Yes it is a beautiful color combo- though it was my second choice to this--- white roadster (w/ a stick) w/ white oxidation interior
That car was 2k less in price but about 14,000 more miles than mine. Btw, I didn't know the Black/Cedar combo was rare. Very cool!
Btw, the fiancee can indeed drive a stick. She drove my S2000 with ease, though it's gearbox was nothing short of a dream! On the other hand she DID have trouble with the notchy Mazdaspeed3 manual, w/ TWM short-throw shifter.
