Default F sport awd color combo

Need your opinion.
F sport AWD Nebula grey with Flaxen or Cabernet interior?
The local dealer has a NBG with Flaxen and I really like the interior, just not sure that tan goes with dark grey.
Also has anyone seen F sports AWD with ML, coming to the dealers yet?
It seem only base stereos are showing up in NE Ohio.

NBG with Flaxen is nice. I've see that combo in a premium version, not the F sport. The Cabernet would also be nice, but if I was given the choice, I'd go with the Flaxen interior.

I just purchased a Nebula Gray/Flaxen AWD with ML 2 weeks ago. I don't think the Cabernet really matches the Nebula Gray. To me it is like wearing a Gray suit with red shoes . Kidding, of course. I'm sure whatever color you choose will look excellent. My opinion is the only color that looks properly excellent with Cabernet is the Obsidian exterior. The dealer had one and it was beautiful but I am not willing to care for a black car, again.

Thanks

Flaxen FTW. And I have Fsport with ML, but I am on West Coast.

My dealer had a Nebula Gray/Flaxen in a Luxury model. I liked the exterior and interior colors but just couldn't see them together. The purple came out in the Nebula Gray and the yellow came out in the Flaxen and then it just didn't look right to me. They had that car on the lot for a long time before selling it.

I don't have Nebula Gray, but I do have Cabernet interior and I can totally see how the two would go together. The Cabernet is more of a brown than red, so it definitely goes with gray.

it's up to you, whatever floats your boat. i have the OB/CAB w/ML. NG looks very good with CAB int. i can't see NG w/ flaxen looking good,,,although i haven't seen that combo so i can't be sure. just picturing to doesn't seem as though it's a good combo. the ball is in your court.

I test drove a 450h f sport , N/G with flaxen, looked pretty good, but brought the N/G with cabernet as I personally preferred this colour , plus it looks a little different. Every one who has looked at it loves the combination. But each to there own, you will enjoy the car whatever colour you choose.

Take some non-biased advice from someone that owns one

Neb Gry w/ Cab is gorgeous. There is plenty of black inside to offset the Cab. Like previously mentioned, its not red. Its a very dark red, unlike in the IS-F which is very red.

Any brown undertones? The dealer has a Neb with flaxen and the interior is gorgeous, would be even better with the dark linear expresso wood. Have not seen the cab with grey

there are plenty of NG/CAB owners on CL, ask them to post a pic so that you can get an idea
