The "black" interior on my GS is so so black ... don't know why, but black color on other cars doesn't seem that black. And it's so shiny too. I personally think it's very special.

Black is hotter in the summer, but if you roll down all the windows and open the sunroof with your remote, it's completely cooled off by the time you get in. It seems to me that black does not show wear nearly as bad as tan, but that's just my opinion. I am completely satisifed with my black interior.

all colors will get those small cracks and creases, but it seams easier to see them on black.

your interior still looks nice and clean Blaise.

I went from black to grey. My oppinion is that the black was more stealthy like the batmobile and the lighter interior seems more friendly for passengers. The black did get a little hot sometimes but both are about the same difficulty to keep clean. I wish I had the black again sometimes.
