I had memory seats in my MB CLA and it was great. Truth be told, I am usually the only person in the car as well, but not always. My wife's Infiniti QX30 had MB GLA engine, drivetrain, and yes, memory seats as well.

White interior in the New IS is amazing.

I had no idea memory seats were standard in Canada! What the heck. I’ve gotten over it but only because the consequences is that I don’t have to share as much. Funny you mention kids and pets I’m the car. I have a slew of them and my friends are always shocked how clean I keep my cars. There are rules and protocols and the kids know dirty cars are my pet peeve.

Regarding the interior color choice, it totally subjective and none are ideal in my opinion. Your perception may be totally accurate solely on the videos. It is a lot of red and the lower door panels look a bit cheap in that color. Again not perfect but good. However, looks super sporty and goes well with the IS in any exterior color. The black looks more classy than the red but it’s dull in my opinion. Like I said - too much black and lacks contrast but that’s my opinion. The black and white have the right balance of contrast but the white is not my taste and would fear staining. In any case these are first world problems and I would feel blessed owning any color combo. I have always wanted an IS and finally pulled the trigger on a brand new 2021 the spring.

regarding the interior color, it going to be a personal preference. Al

I agree with your above post and I appreciate how people can express their opinions without being bashed - I find people on this forum are a cut above the rest

With the portion of your post I quoted, I totally understand but so far, I haven't had any issues but I used the same reasoning from moving away from white underwear (lol)
