Default Red interior or black interior

Which interior looks best on an F sport the Red or black?
Which one will last longer over the years?

I would get the red. Black interiors are great, had them many times but the red is different, like my flaxen or the cabernet in the 4GS F Sport. Longevity is going to be about the same, most of the red interior is black, its only the seats and the door panels that are red.

No question IMHO.

Here's the interior of my new black on red IS 250 FSPORT. Once I saw the red interior with black exterior the decision was easy- went with red

If I had gone for another exterior color than USB, I'd chosen the red interior on my IS 300h F-Sport. But I think that the blue/red combo is too weird. So black leather for me.

I've seen ATS with black raven exterior and Morello red interior. Very sharp, but it may be too loud for some. Of course, I'm wearing a Seiko Orange Monster as I type this, so who am I to complain about loud.

Proud to be loud lol.

Personally, If I were to get USB I would go with black interior. Red int works well with any other color esp black and white.

Which would go best with nebula gray pearl or silver lining metallic? Those are the two exteriors I will be picking from.

Black/Red is a nice combo. I went with Black/Black to match my age. If you are or want to feel young, go with Red interior regardless of how old you are. ^_^

I would go red all the way with those colors. The contrast with the other black interior elements is striking and not monotone like the black interior.

Go with Red on the F-Sport. It adds sportiness to the interior and is exclusively only available on the F-Sport...

Black. I think you would get tired of the red very quickly.

I have the nebula gray with red interior and I love it. Have had numerous vehicles with black interior and although nice, nothing pops like this red interior. I get more positive comments on the red than anything else on the car
