"light or dark ...they all get HOT at the end of day"

True, but a light colored interior will cool off faster than a dark interior - light colored materials tend to reflect heat while dark materials tend to absorb heat. Once cool, a light colored interior will require less a/c to keep it cool.

Good point especially here in the south. Although I liked the black interior I stayed with parchment, my Nephew has a black interior and pre cools his car before he gets into it

I love the contrast of the parchment with dark colored dashboad and bamboo trim

I got parchment and we love it. While a light color will probably require regular maintenance, we had a dark color interior before that showed every piece of dust and pollen ... so it too had to be wiped regularly, otherwise it looked messy. The long and short of it: we are very happy with the parchment interior. It stays cooler in the summer and, against the dark blue exterior, it looks great.

I have White ext. with grey interior and I love it. I am in Arizona, too. I've had mine since August so I've been through the heat--and I was impressed by the fact that the seats were never really scorching hot despite the temperatures.

I think the grey interior with the black interior contrast is the sharpest option, but to each his own.

Enjoy the car!
