I normally don't like black wood, but it matches well with a red interior.
yeah totally, that's why i didn't consider the PB edition (black on red). if it's less red then it could have looked a lot better

I thought you always won't mind taking apart your cars to modify it, so changing the color of the red carpets to black shouldn't be a problem for you ?

well, but that's not the only reason. the PB edition costing 6k more didn't help anything neither

Ah, no deals on the special editions, then it's definitely not worth it !

yeah, the special edition is always selling left and right so it's always msrp.... i just cant' justify that. even the previous yr PB, that combo was awesome too but even that it's hard for us to judtify

Is that '06 still the same Millennium Silver, or does it look like a darker silver color to everyone else?

It looks to me like the continuation of the "Noble color edition" of the Soarer they have been selling for a while now, which indeed comes with a darker tone of silver <and the red interior, and all that...> if you can read Japanese, here's how they get the effect..
Noble color edition

Noble color edition
Ah, I thought it looked darker. Very nice. (And I have enough trouble with English...)

I hope so too but so far the clear stripes just look plain odd to me... even with the girl.

I thought those rims, with their somewhat two-tone look, might be a special edition type thing since they were on the car with the red interior. But now we can see them in pictures on the white car as well, so they must be the new standard rim. Interesting choice....
