Sapphire black. Jet black is non-metallic, sapphire looks much better. Can you get Carbon black?

They said no. I asked about both the Sophisto Grey and the Carbon Black. If I was buying it, I'd push the issue.

I am sure you can get custom color for more money, but I agree you have a lease, so why push. Sapphire is closest to Sophisto and Monaco blue is closest Carbon black in terms of available colors.

L, you are a black car fan, and simply from pics, the SB looks a
lot snappier than the JB, imo.

Envious of you and the gang getting new rides every 2-3 years!

I DO like the metallic but the Jet is a much deeper black. The car wash I go to does a great job. I don't see any swirls on my current Sapphire but the Jet may be a bitch.

Sapphire it is
