Question Flint owners - which interior color do U have?

My wife thinks our new Flint/black is a rare combo and I said, "uh, I doubt it..."
Well???

I was supposed to get my new 330 with Flint/Gray today, but it got damaged at the port and is beyond repair for a new vehicle. I had to switch to a Black/Ivory.

My Flint has the lighy gray interior. I really like how it looks. I only hope that as time goes by it will stay as new looking as it is today. Not crazy about the light mat color though.

Just curious, what don't you like about the light mat color - is it the shade (doesn't match?) or is it the susceptibility to showing dirt?

I really like the color; I think it looks great with the Flint color. The contrast is really nice and I have gotten quite a few compliments on them. The match is great, I am only worried about how dirty they will look down the road. My other car had a tan interior and after a while the mats started looking kind of ratty. I guess for now I will just keep on the clear protector mats that I have over them.

My light grey mat color is already dirty looking at 600 miles. I wish they had put in black mats, since the dash and window trim is already black.

I think when my wife's RX330 arrives (light gray interior) I'll throw in some real nice black rubber mats that I have left over from my Audi. She likes rubber mats and I bet she won't even notice the four rings. It'll keep the floor looking a lot newer when she performs her soccer mom duties.

Maybe you can try to get dealer to swap black for your light grey mats? I wish I had asked before driving off the lot. I was surprised how fast they got dirty. Also I had some big suitcases in the cargo area and now the back of the leather seats is scuffed up too. Ugh! Maybe I'll get black interior next time. The contrast of the light grey and charcoal exterior looks sharp, though.

Flint/Mica with Black Interior on order and should be delivered in June. I agree that Flint with Gray interior may look better, but black dash with black leather looks almost as good. Was more worried about the gray leather getting dirty, while the black should be more durable.

Mica/Black. The dealer put the black and grey side-by-side for us. The black interior looked a little more classy to us. Strictly a personal preference, though, as both look great.
