I love the black onyx and tan leather combo.

I also agree with your comment about the smoother shifting with the 6 speed. Don't know about the rated HP. I was looking for a luxury convertible that was quick and smooth to shift and "felt" like a sports car. The 2006 that I test drove the other day met these requirements. I am sure, one day, probably when I turn 70, I will end up buying a "super sports" car
