[Special Ringpop]

Right now, I'm struggling with a decision.

I came to the realization that I cannot afford the Si the way I want it. I want a Fiji Blue with navigation, but I can't afford the $22,000 price tag. I can, however, afford the $20,000 price tag on an EX coupe with Navi and a 5 M/T.

Problem is, I can't find any. Anywhere. I had my hands on one, but it sold right from under me. The dealer told me I'd probably have to order it, and I'd get it some time in August, which sucks, but good things come to those who wait, right?

The problem I now haev is that in order to get in August, so I can take it back to college with me, I need to let him know what color/options I want. I know what options I want, and what I can afford (I'm getting the fog lights installed and navi for sure), but I can't decide on a color now.

I currently own a silver Pontiac Grand Am GT, and while I love that my silver shines more than anyone elses I know, silver always struck me as a conservative, plain color. I want the black interior, I'm pretty certian (I've never seen the gray in real life and up close, but it seems way too light: I love black). I'm also not terribly fond of red (I think it washes out the tailights), but right now, I'm stuck between choosing a Rallye Red or Alabaster Silver. I really liked the sparkle in the silver, but I wonder if I would regret it down the road...I like being showy in a classy way.

I do, however, really like the atomic blue color, but I'm not sure I'm willing to sacrifice the black interior for the light gray one. The black looks amazing, and I dunno...I'm just really torn right now, and not knowing what to do.

If you have advice (preferably) or pictures of any of the aforementioned colors (interior included), PLEASE let me know so I can make this decision.

I would think I would take red over silver right now, because it's slightly more sporty, but the new Civics look pretty dang good in silver. The blue is subtle, but nice. I dunno ><;
