was 2 the dealer today
and they just got their shipment, straight from the barge not yet washed, w/ a 1/2 inch of salt still on them. Mine was locked up inside for tomorrow mornings p/u. The 1st shot is the MSM in the sun and sparkling pink & purple, thou every angle you looked at it the shade would change. My wife loved it and I could live w/ it if it was hers, but its not. 
The very salty blue is the aqua(we both liked), next are the amber & tungsten, which are both very nice & then the almond which we all found to be bland.
Looks like the pic's came in reverse order, the 1st &3rd are both of the almond...

Well I got it and I love it. The ride is as smooth, quiet and luxurious as any I could imagine. And the Ruby is gorgeous in the sun and seems to be a different shade from every angle, definitely an eye catcher. The car does feel much larger than it actually is and I found the drivers area to be spacious enough & I am 6' tall & 180 and felt jammed in the IS but found the ES just right. And while it doesn't "suck the road in" like the Audi, BMW & Acura's I've driven, it has more of an 'electra-drive' feeling ( yea a little boaty) but it can more than handle the driving that we do. As for the interior I like everything but the storage area of the armrest. Its not too far back & no accidental openings yet, but the access is inconvenient and not as well laid as others. Haven't heard the ML stereo but the 6-disc standard sounds fine to me and w/ the tunes even on low your in a world of your own. And for those who have driven from Maui's airport to Kapalua know its 1 of the prettiest drives in the world, well its never looked better than today. Added pic's of the 'Rube' ... aloha http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/...6984&members=1
