I bought mine over the Labor day weekend. The weather out here in Southern Cal. was extremely hot! Perfect weather for such a perfectly designed drop top

It is Aero blue with dark slate interior. Autostick. I am working on getting a picture of it for my album.
I was torn between the yellow and blue. I am happy I picked the blue! I have never had a car that so many people stop and their mouths drop open. I used to have a 2000 Sebring Convertible and would get compliments, but nothing like this!!
It is sort of embarassing =)

congratulations. Good pick on the color. I think I get about as many people looking at this car as with the Chyrsler Prowler I had previously. Have fun and enjoy.

I hope it wasn't ordered from the factory. I ordered mine late June, it left the factory on August 30th as scheduled and it still hasn't arrived in the US yet. :evil:

I have had my Xfire Roadster for a month now, the exact same exterior/interior combo that you have on order. No regrets....most of the compliments that I receive are about the interior. A pain to keep clean, but worth it. 8)

Congrats on the new ride and Welcome.

You know... I was just really thinking about that. Does it get pretty dirty pretty easily? I worry about the top being down and something getting on it, and how easily the steering wheel gets dirty. We actually haven't ordered it yet, but will in the next day or so, so I'm wondering if I should just stick with the dark slate/medium gray?

Thom, nice car. I was sitting in a graphite roadster (two tone gray interior) in my dealers lot while I was having some work done on my Sebring convertible (mice ate through the hydraulic line for my top). I had two people come up to the car and admire it. I felt like the guy in the vehix.com commercials answering questions about it.
My Xfire is scheduled to arrive at the dealer today (Tuesday).

FINALLLY Lee!
Congrats for waiting so patiently! Hope it gets there with no problems. And hope the weather's nice for your ride home (but seems like Jeanne might mess it up a little).
Let us know how things go, and don't forget pictures!

U.

I'll bring it home in a hurricane if I have to! It's pouring rain here today but it's supposed to clear up and be nice for the rest of the week.

I'll have pictures in my gallery the day I bring the little red beast home, hopefully tomorrow. I have to call the service manager in awhile to make sure it came in. It wasn't in as of 2 pm yesterday but he said that didn't mean anything because they come in all hours of the day and night.
Keep your eyes on my gallery. :shock:

Ken, I've got the pictures; I just have to downsize them so they will load into my personal gallery.
Wait until you get your roadster, the attention it gets is just what everyone says. As my neighbor says, it really is a head turner. What is also correct is the brake dust problem. I washed it today and it took me as long to clean the front wheels as it did the rest of the car. I think I will order the Rotex Gold pads on Monday.
Keep smiling, only another week

Are you keeping your Sebring vertible?

I had a 97 last year and loved it.
