Get the color you think you will enjoy the most regardless of what the potential resale value will be.

But yeah White with red interior is gorgeous! If I was looking for a used IS and wanted white, I'll be looking for a red interior.

Good luck.

Love my red interior seats in my Ultra white IS but if I had the USB then black would be the only way I would go with it

When I saw the white/black combo in person I fell in love. Plus I plan on powdercoating my new wheels in a custom finish and it may not flow with the red interior.

I chose black as well. I really felt like being in my mid-30's I probably would have gotten the red if i was younger but I just really liked the all black interior. I have to drive clients around on occasion and the red looks good, sporty but the all black just really felt right and i have no regrets. I think with a white car the red felt/looked out of place. On a black 250 F-Sport I saw the red looked alot better, imo. When I saw the White F-Sport 350 and the all black interior, I instantly fell in love! Gotta compare in person I think!

The red goes really well with white, black and silver exterior. I'd choose it over the black interior.

In my opinion the red interior is gorgeous but I any little stain will show too much , I went with the black which hides imperfections a little more .

Keep the leather uv protected and conditioned. The only downside about red leather is when it fades or wears it looks horrible.

black interior is a good choice "IF" you don't have red as a choice...
