When I was out looking to test drive Crossfires in fall 2004, all three dealers I visited here in SW MI had yellow roadsters on the lot. It was like Chrysler sent them out to draw in customers. No offense, but the yellow is a boring color and since I had the option of ordering my XF, I went with graphite gray and the two-tone gray interior. Shined up, it is impressive with it's flake gun metal finish. I agree that the machine gray, with a flake blue-gray finish, is possibly prettier. I bought one of those for my son in 2008 and he drove it through college, then abandoned it back to me a few years ago when he went overseas. Even though he is back, he has not asked for the car (?!?). So I drove it part of last summer and my youngest daughter drove it this summer. But no one drives the graphites except me!
