I've only ever seen black interior on those two colors and a white sportdesign being the exception, just curious.

Every color offered it. I don't believe in its rarity. I have literally seen every color that had black interior. It's not that rare.

I forgot about the Midnight Pine Pearl color. A few only offered it for a year or so. But, from that post it doesn't appear to be that rare to me

I suppose I just haven't seen enough GS for sale, they aren't very common in my area, but to be fair I haven't seen any GS around my area in most of those colors either, oh how a white or blue on black would be nice

I literally spent a year looking for a Blue Marlin Pearl with black interior, and I mean looking just about all over the country. I managed to find three, but they all had something that killed the deal. Then I spent another 8 months looking for a Millenium Silver Metallic with black interior, and gave up when I found my MSM/Ivory.


Thanks for the list, ThomasGS4 -- good stuff!


Quick Reply: Black interior, was it only available on silver and black vehicles?
