I'm probably the closest to you... southern Michigan. Mine is black w/cedar interior. When I saw only pics, I didn't like it. But when I first sat in my car (at the dealership the day I bought it), I fell in love. I know a lot of people are saying they don't like it, but hey, everyone likes different stuff. Personally, I like things that are different, and gray/charcoal/slate/whatever interiors are soooo common. If you're real conservative/traditional/etc kind of person, you may not like it, but I wouldn't rule it out until you see it in person.
