That car has been around for awhile. If it had an ivory interior, I would have bought it already. No way am I buying a car with a black interior.

And I'm opposite; No way I would ever buy a car with a white (whatever) interior. Black for me, or some other non-light color.

I avoid black seats because I always think they show age/wear more than light seats.

I've always thought the opposite. Perhaps the truth is that it doesn't make any difference?

I live in the desert, it's never bothered me in any of my 'verts. All with black leather. Flop the seatbacks forward if it's in the sun for any time.

Anyway, back to that R-S... While I'd like to have one, and red is okay, I can't see paying all that extra for not much. I do like the 2012+ facelift, and I already have the R-S tune. So I'd get sticky buttons and a two year newer car for double what I could sell my current car for. If I could get a good 2015 for a good deal, I'd probably jump at it though. The last of a dead breed and so-on.

And that's true. The process to get black leather makes the hide stiffer and more fragile on the wrinckling side. Black leather are always stronger but then more subjects to cracks and ware.
