Default toasted caramel or white/navy blue interior on USB?

I am on the fence if i should go with toasted caramel or white/navy blue interior on Ultrasonic blue. i have seen quite a few youtube videos and pictures online but i can't decide which one would be the best. i know both look amazing, but I know with white leather i would need to be on top of keeping it clean often.

please advise.

i have not fully spec'd out the LC yet as it will be a bespoke build. I need to go to the dealer and see how much it will be.

I will keep you posted.

White/Navi more unique with USB and in my opinion, looks better with it, any light colour leather like toasted caramel takes more care in keeping clean anyway.

I saw an USB on blue/white interior last weekend and the interior was breathtaking. Definitely my choice.

I’ve always had black interiors as it’s the classic color and allegedly hides dirt better. But with my recent bespoke build I wanted to go in a different direction, so I ordered the blue & white. Can’t speak to the caramel, but I’d say the b/w looks great with your exterior.

Toasted caramel so I can buy it from you when you're ready to resell.

I have toasted caramel on my infrared and valet guys always give me compliments on it. The suede headliner in particular is immaculate.

I admire the bravery of those who order white interiors. Seems like a nightmare to keep clean.

Objectively there are far more white/blue matched with USB on the LC. USB with toasted caramel is exceptionally rare

@autozero I completely agree! I drive a 2023 cloudburst gray w/toasted caramel conv't (14 months old w/ 5100 miles) and my interior is still pristine and as immaculate as the day I picked it up at the dealer. In a previous life, I owned owned a 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe (Caribbean Blue with light tan interior) and had to have the driver's seat leather completely replaced TWICE due to discoloration from the die from my blue jeans and a black ring from my belt permeating the leather surface (that somehow could not be cleaned). I do love the look of the white interior but would be worried about keeping it clean.

If you’re the fastidious type go with navy/white as if you keep it clean it will continue to look good, but be wary of fabric or leather dye transfer. Years back my wife’s new black leather Ralph Lauren belt stained the ivory leather in my brand new MB 500 coupe, I wasn’t a happy camper to say the least. Fortunately it came out after a few tries with a gentle leather cleaner.
