Default 350 F-Sport White W/ Black Interior

How many of you all got this option? I am just curious as I keep on seeing Red and havent seen any black interior ones.

Yeah, when I bought my car there was also a red interior available but it was 2k more than the black one which wasn't worth it my opinion. Red is suppose to be a premium color.

I have the IS250 F Sport Ultra White w/ Black Interior. I love my black Interior all around. Can't lie, I Love the red as well.

Ultra White and all black in side for me. I couldn't do the red, because I knew I would get sick of it after about a week - no offense to anyone else who has the red.

I thought I'd get sick of the red, but I like it more now than I did before.

Just picked up my 350 F Sport with UW outside, black on the inside. I had black interior on my '04 IS 300 and I think I'd get sick of the Rioja Red, I think it looks good but just not for me.

Going with the black interior is part of what made mine a special order as my dealer only had white/red in stock.

Black interior vs Rioja Red interior should not affect price. Whoever told you that is trying to rip you off! The 2k is probably coming from some other options.

I love the red and I'm a guy who has never liked red inside of any car. It has been universally complimented by everyone who has seen my car. I also think it's well executed, from the stitching the the overall toned down color they used. I will not get sick of this interior. Matter of fact, it continues to grow on me everyday.

^^ Agreed, thats why i chose it as well on my Ultra White. The red (brick) color in the BMW 335s can't touch the nice shade of red in the IS.

It's the same option and MSRP. The only difference is probably the UW and red combo here in the bay area is "rare". This is based off of 4-5 dealers in the bay. Another difference is my black had like 50 miles on it and the red had 7 miles.

Picking up my UW IS350F with black interior this evening. I'm coming from a MB CLS550 that was black with red interior. Liked the red and had lots of compliments on the color combination but was ready for a change.

i used to be a dire hard black, black on black fan.. every car I've had in the past 10 years or so has always had black interior. mainly for hiding dirt reasons. ill never get tan or white!
but the parts i put my feet on and touch are for the most part black, the red makes it look more sporty. my wifes 2012 acura TL had the Umber interior which is very close to the cabernet interior of our new 2013 GS 350.
the Rioja was a no brainer for me. i like black too but it just looks a little too plain. some contrast makes it pop!

Wow, going from a car over twice the cost of the IS. Curious to know why and what your impressions are of the IS.
