Default 2006 PB edition SC430 (Tiger Mica) is here...

ok so just as i promised. but i have to give props and credits to elizabeth for taking the pictures. as most of you know i can't even stand up straight now.

here are two pics of the car from her cell phone camera. i am sure more better pics will be here shortly

my take? the car is way too brownish for my taste.... i don't think it looks that good at all. i still prefer the 04 PB edition

here is a pic of the interior wood

i don't know about you guys, but from the pics i am pretty disappointed about the new PB this time. to me it's like a car for the very old man... the outside color is too brownish, and the interior wood has a very "old age" feel to it as well?

It's very brown, but I kind of like it. It's a dark brown and it has mica in the paint. It looks a lot better in person. I really like the sparkly effect of mica!

I took some better pictures with my digital camera which Rominl will post up for everyone tonight.

I think the wheels are an improvement over the last two stock
wheels and I wonder how they will look when chromed.

I noticed from the pics it seem to have a camel color dash, which is different from the black dash with the regular camel interior, as well as on the other interiors . . .

Hey guys, the first group of pictures I took with a cellphone. I tried to take a closeup shot of the shifter so you could see the brilliance in color. The car had just gotten to our dealer as you can tell by the tape still on dirty car. So I went back later in the afternoon with a real camera and they had already sold it so that sucker was locked tighter than Fort Knox! It'll probably be gone by tomorrow, but I'll try to take some more interior shots although I can't promise anything. The inside is really nice, all the neutral tones blend together nicely.
