I guess I got my Black Cherry just in time... though a bummer I couldn't get the audio controls on the steering wheel.
No mention in any of the articles what the fabric change is going to look like.

Also, the seat fabric will be the same as in the '06 xA. Not a big change, but different.

And no, they aren't purple, but many shots make them appear so. I get the same effect with my '05 seats, depening on the angle/lighting.
