I don't personally name cars, except for one. My first car, it was a Ford Explorer Limited and I named it "Ted". Thats the only name that has ever stuck.

I want to get some opinions here. I put my deposit down and configured my Cayenne but I still have a week to decide on some of my options. We are doing black exterior and black interior (I know, boring but that’s what my wife likes because she said white is too girly in this car and it’s her car, go figure).
We were at the dealer yesterday hoping to sit in the 18 way vs the 14 way seats and just our luck, no 18 ways were there. However, they did have the red interior and my wife thought it looked pretty good so now we are considering it. I’ve had the rioja red interior in our IS350 before and liked it so it’s not the first red interior for us but where I am hesitant is that the red doesn’t wrap around the edge of the seats and it’s black instead. Also not sure I feel about the red on the lower part of the dash.
I would love to get black interior with red stitching but that stitching is a $4k option, no thanks.
What are your personal thoughts?

I vote to go for the red! The Porsche red leather is great.
My S560 is finally done, picked it up. The S580 should be here tomorrow, targeting delivery late tomorrow or Sunday. Definitely bittersweet, I am excited about the new one but I will miss this one, its been a great car. I hope I enjoy the new one as much as I did this one.

I think your wife should decide.
But if you want my personal opinion, I do not like red interiors. I prefer gray or tan. But I would choose black over red.

I remember BMW had a red interior (Coral Red) that was too much. E90 gen I believe. It wasn't ugly per se but that bright red dominated the interior.
