I admit the lower dash would be nicer if it was leather covered instead of color-keyed plastic, but I wouldn't want to change it from red. The Dakota leather is fairly firm and plasticky in any case, but at least it's easy-care and hopefully durable.



Our local dealers order most cars with the black interior, supposedly for resale value. So, the few CR cars that arrive here are mostly special orders. Now, if (say) only 40% really like CR and only 20% of the available cars are CR, then it will be in twice as much demand as the black when it comes to resale, at least relative to the number of available cars.

So, I see it as an asset, not a liability. In any case, I bought the car I liked, not trying to second-guess someone who might buy it in the future.



BTW, I suggest you don't discount CR without seeing it in person. It really is more of a dull, brick red than it appears in photos. The pics seem to make it look much more vibrant and confronting.
Very nice!
