i definetely say wait for the black on black also. if that's what you really want, then you're always going to be dissapointed everytime you get into that tan interior.

could the tan interior not make really dark tint look as dark? that could be a good thing for when u get pulled over...

If blk/blk is what you really want,wait for it.Man I would get a blk/blk and paint all the grille,logo,blackout the taillights and make it extremely black...
Or maybe thats just my taste... Anyways do what YOU want.Not what other people say.And you wont get pulled over as long as you dont tint the windshield and the front windows .

Get what you really want. That way you will not slap your forehead in 6 months and say, "If only..."

I personally love black on tan, when I was looking for mine I made sure not to get a black interior. I personally think a black interior is too boring

I didn't even realize it was a poll, I just voted now

A tan interior makes the car much more warm and inviting, as stupid as it might sound, it makes me a little happier to step into a tan interior as opposed to a black one. It's kind of like going outside and it's sunny instead of overcast. I love the look of my Black on Tan GS400, inside and out

That's just my opinion though

you are right its YOUR opinion.

In my opinion, when I step into my A4 with black interior, I feel more sporty and feel like speeding.However, when I'm in my LX with tan interior Ifeel more at home and comfy..i like both colors and their tastes but its what YOU want like I said+I would feel uncomfortable drving a car with a replaced engine

BTW he said that the previous owner went through a big puddle and the car's intake sucked in water and hydrolocked...engine replaced...no problem...does it make a differance if the engine was changed or not?

are you saying the replacement motor supposedly had 32k miles when it was put in? who really knows..I'd probably try to find one that hasn't been through all that.
maybe if you had proof and it had a brand new motor put in by the dealer, but a used motor that's been through who knows what, I'd pass.
