Ended up getting the Beats stereo and sunroof as they had one like that on the lot in the celeste green she wanted and we got it for a fair chunk under invoice. The sunroof is a bit of a fail as there is no solid cover (mesh screen) but you can pop a $30 shield up there to cover it or tint it.
She hasn't had a new car since her '02 Tacoma TRD so she's a happy camper. I got a good price and cheap long term money so I'm happy and we can always dump it if push comes to shove. 4 year/50K miles warranty so at least should be fine for the next few years. We'll see how it holds up.

Congrats!
I like that color.
I wish my Abarth had your instrument cluster...mine's black and hard to view in daylight.

Have fun.
