As others have said, I'd want to see the new gray in the flesh. To me, at the moment there are about four shades of black; ie, the current green and blue, except in direct sunlight (at which point they look great!), are pretty much black. If the new gray is still light enough to be distinguished from black, I'd probably go for it. I'm hoping (more correctly, my wife is) for a new blue some day that looks a little less black. More like the cobalt blue of her 10th anniversary edition Miata.
