I'm really digging the contrast of the red exterior with the Stone interior..

I hope you get what you want. That just doesn't do it for me. The wheat would work well, but I'm sticking with the graphite.

Is the interior black or gray?

I definitely consider it to be black:

Hey selzini, I just test drove a Venetian Ruby Hybrid tonight that looked pretty much exactly like yours.

The guys at the dealer asked why I wouldn't just consider a Malbec Black again, which, I did consider for a while, but for me, I won't go down that path of maintaining a car that dark a color unless Infiniti plans on bringing back those red leather seats really soon.

Of course, you made the right choice. (except, you didn't get the hybrid)

i'm shopping the q50 and was curious how many have purchased the venetian ruby with the black/graphite interior? I really like that combo and was curious how common it is with the red exterior. Most of the venetian ruby pictures i've seen have the lighter colored interior.

Wouldn't have it any other way.

Selzini, no offense, you're an excessively cool guy.

(I think)

I can't believe how few Reds there will be. My dealer told me that there are only 2 Red with Graphite coming to all of Southern Cal before August, but there are thousands of Blacks, Whites, Greys and Silvers. At least I'll stand out in my Ruby Red/Graphite with Nav and Grand Touring when it arrives July 15!

I also pre-ordered the Red with the graphite, but my sales manager said it wouldn't be in until August. How do you KNOW that you'll have yours by July 15th?

No problem. The black grille, sport bumper and rear lip spoiler are all options. You can get a non-Sport with the Sport bumper. I had a thread linked to Infiniti's own option sheet for this around here somewhere.

I looked at the order sheet. It does mention the black grill and rear lip spoiler($860), but it doesn't mention the sport bumper. I wonder if I could get the dealer to order the sport bumper after I get the car(and I wonder whether it really would be worth doing. )

YES!!!! A while back, someone posted how bad the red looked. I wonder if he still thinks that way. I don't want the sport, but I sure would love to have the sport front fascia. Hmmm, I wonder if............... The only change I will make will be to have the windows tinted; the contrast should look really good.
