I like the tan interior A LOT and wish they'd offer it on the black cars (would have gotten it in mine if it were available). I like the lip spoiler too, not sure if I'd take that or the standard spoiler if I had the choice. They're both pretty nice looking.
Another surprise was the Nordic Green, it looked much nicer in person than in the photos I have seen, I hadn't seen one in person until the show yesterday.

Here is the 1024x768. Since it had to be enlarged it will have a little noise.

I sat in one at the dealership last week.
I had never even heard of it before. It was purple with a whiteish tan interior. All the center console lids were wrapped in leather along with the e-brake and shifter. The shift **** was white and looked like it would light up. The one I saw had no rear spoiler and had Shinka badging on the door center posts. Looked like higher quailty leather but my two tone Chap leather looks way sportier in my N. green. Had satellite antenna and standard 6 cd. The tires were different-- I missed a difference in the wheels if their was any.
Price tag said 34,000.
For 5000 less I got the G.T Nordic with the metal flake from hell and the 12 extra hp :D

BTW: The car in these pictures doesn't have the side skirts that came on mine. Also, the lip spoiler (not in these pictures, but in some others) is apparently a Japan-only feature.
