Default Red Interior

Guys,

I am pulling the trigger on a car tomorrow AM and I am torn between the Black interior or the Red interior. Can you guys post up some good pics of the Red interiors and Black interiors in your 3IS? I need some help swaying my decision. Also let me know what the positives/negatives (if any) in your color have been thus far.

Thanks!

Plenty of red in the pic right now thread attached. Don't know about the black though. Red seems to be the hot color for this car.

What exterior color are you getting? Regardless, my vote is on the Rioja Red all the way. It screams exclusivity, luxury, and sportiness all at once.

See:

I had to sacrifice that color for the external USB (black interior) color. Black interior is more "business-like and predictable". I spruced mine up a little to add some contrast in the otherwise all-black interior.

I was in the same boat as use and ultimately decided on the black. The red looks beautiful but after seeing it in daylight it was a little too red for me. I'm a more subtle kind of guy. The black looks gorgeous and gives the interior that classy, luxury look. Also, I was able to get an additional $2k off MSRP because the black interior is not in such high demand. Just something to think about as well when making your decision. I have absolutely no regrets in choosing the black interior. I know that makes me the minority here but I truly do like the black more.

I ended up getting Neb Grey with Black interior. ML, BSM, Nav, F Sport 350. I couldn't find a white with black and the red was too feminine in my opinion. Also I couldn't resist the deal I got, $0 down, $505 a month, 36mo 45k mile lease with maintenance for the life of the lease and tint. I had been battling two competing dealerships against each other and got a call yesterday saying they didnt want the other to get my business and they would do it for the absolute lowest price they could. Original numbers we were talking about were in the $600-$615 range with $0 down.
