opinions on charcoal vs dove interior in sunny weather
I love the look of the charcoal interior on these cars, but having never had a convertible, I'm wondering if it might be apt to getting a little too warm in the summer sun?
I have an older muscle car (a coupe) with a black vinyl interior - a bit darker than charcoal gray of course, and a different material - and one of my pet peeves about that car is how miserably hot it gets in the summertime.
Any comments or preferences?

I have the charcoal interior. It kinda sucks. I love the car, but I would love it even more if I had the dove interior. h20boy's combo of platinum and dove is gorgeous. Last summer I was out west where it gets up into the 100's every day. We kept a big sheet in the back seat and when we would park we'd lean the seats forward and cover everything up with the sheet. It looked tacky, but at least we didn't get third degree burns when we returned.

Reverend Sam, do you think it would look ridiculous to change your seat leathers, headrests, and center console to the dove color...all else being charcoal? I know the back seats would still be black, but just wondering if that's pushing the limit and into territory of 'i'd rather just sell it and get another car' line of thinking?

I have dove leather in my xkr. I like it a lot. There is no comparison to the black interior I have in my miata. Yellow car, black interior looks sharp, but in the dog days of summer it gets HOT!!! As a matter of fact, when I was shopping for my xkr, I looked at a lot of cars and if they had black interior, they didn't get a second look. The dove interior stays sooo much cooler, I highly recommend it.

When I was looking at XKR's in silver, they came in either black or oatmeal interiors. I had a black interior in a convertible once and vowed never to have it again. I had to keep looking, but finally found the oatmeal colour interior on the silver car. Even with the light colour interior, I will lean the seats forward if the car has to sit out for awhile.

My '01 is Titanium / Oatmeal, the latter of which stays about as cool as any color will, I suppose. The other thing is, leather repeatedly getting as hot as a dark color will in a rag top ... can't be doing the leather any good.
