That is an all black interior, right?

I would have paid extra for a blue interior.

Mine is gray (YUCK, no class, just plain neutral gray Blah!). But that is what the wife wanted. :( I like the tan too but can't get it with Glacier Blue.

It's an all grey interior, which I put black (dark charcoal) leather in, so it's more of a two-tone now. Color choice was a dilemma for me.

I agree that all-grey seems drab. Initially, I liked the tan interior the most. However, I was afraid I would get it dirty really fast with the types of things I load (like cycling gear). I also like black interior in vehicles generally, but the all-black on this car is too dark and mono-tone for my taste. So, I ended up getting grey, and later put the black leather in. It's not necessarily what I would choose if I did it all over, but I like it.

In the photos, I did not use flash, so there is a little less contrast between the grey and black than you would see in broad daylight.

iploya,
Apparently there is some type of color shift due to over or under exposure??? If you spot read with the meter the light on the gray it might have come out more realistic. But then you might not be able to use a flash.

I agree the tan will get dirty especially if you are carrying bikes.

It just look more classy or rich in tan. Like leather from a distance! The wife said no on tan interior. She also hated the Gold and as she put it, Puke Green :) which are the only exterior colors available with the Tan interior.

I just think that the Glacier Blue with a dark blue interior would look nice. My Dad had a Camry like that and it looked really nice to me.

Whatever rocks your boat...
