I may be making a bad assumption but I'm thinking she didn't just have 40k sitting around the house. You'll probably both be paying for it so you did right. Get the manual tranny. I'd go with black though.

Yep. Crap, thats how I'm getting mine. The wife started poking asking what I might want for Christmas.

My response was I don't want anything for Christmas, Bday, or anything for the next 5 years if we can buckle down for 5 months and get in a position to buy my car.

She agreed and now I've halved the amount owed on my truck in the last 2 months. Soon as the truck is paid for, I order...

I'm sorry to rain on your parade but that is a slap to her face. She went out of her way to pick out a car for you, automatic or not, you should've welcomed it with open arms, ESPECIALLY no other than from your WIFE. Like it was said before, I'd be disappointed if I were the wife.

Put yourself in her shoes: you searched for something that she might love, you spend days on end even weeks to find the budget and you plan, you present her the surprise, she looks grateful but not complete sold. She offers to get a different version with her own choice. All that time you spent, all that money you pitched in, and she wants a different one. How would you take it? Personally, I would be sad.

Mark my words, she may say that shes grateful that you like it, but deep down inside she is disappointed. Trust me.

Note to self:

1. Find girlfriend who loves the 2010 Camaro.

2. Marry girlfriend so she buys me a 2010 Camaro.

3. Truly live happily ever after.

You're lucky, man. Hang onto her and do something special for her every week.

Congrats.
