I bought 2011 4.6 but have remorse....

Also because the it helps keep the car much cooler than a dark color.

True, but in the winter the dark color helps warm it up during the day, doesn't it?

Yes, if one lives where there is a lot of snow and ice, then a dark color comes in handy. I don't live in such a place, and if I did, I wouldn't drive a RWD car in the winter.

Cold doesn't necessarily have to be accompanied by precipitation. Having lived in Omaha for way too long in another life, I find it doesn't get that cold here in NC, either. But I've found that 40 degrees is cool enough (for me) to enjoy the color-enhanced warming assist.

I said "snow and ice". I have lived in cold weather where it did not snow a lot, but for the occasions when it did snow, I would not purchase a RWD car unless I had another car that I could drive on those few snowy days.

As far as "color-enhanced warming assist" that only affects the outside of the car, not usually the interior (except for some affect on the roof). Any car, regardless of exterior or interior color, will warm in the sun due to greenhouse effect through the car windows. Even cars with a light interior color, have dark colors on the dash and near other windows to avoid reflections.
