Default Interior color

I am in the market for a GS probably 400 and trying to decide on the interior color. For those GS owners out there which color you prefer or wish you had? I really like black myself.
Thanks

My interior is grey. I think they call it charcoal. I like it because with tinted windows the interior kinda looks blue like a Benz when looking from the front.

i wanted black but i ended up with grey.
grey is much cleaner compare to black. Dust and junk show up so much easier on my frends black interior than my grey.
i clean my interior once every 3 months

True.

IMO, black - classy/gangster

Grey - very modern looking, clean cut

Tan - looks great; for a whole 5 mins, after it gets detailed, then you start driving it... so forget about it, biggest PITA to maintain.

To each their own, i bought an ES300 with the very much sought after black interior.

I do not mind, the only thing that really shows up on the black is the dirt/mud on the door sills/surrounding trim. Other than that, dirt is not easily spotted.

And i clean the interior once every 2-3 months and maybe dust it off once a month [even then dust is not too bad or noticeable say when compared to a Domestic car that uses a hard plastic as the material]

yea it depends on where and how you drive too.
i live in socal, and i like to drive with all my windows down. so dust accumulation is much easier for me

I have tan but at the time i couldn't find a GS around the area so i was limited to choices.. Next car will be black if not saddle interior. Both are very sharpe and classy looking.. I've had tan interior now for like 10 years.. Kinda sick of it.. Although i don't feel that Tan is taht hard to keep clean.. Mine is in mint condition for a 99..

I have black which is exactly what I set out to find. It probably took 6 months longer, but I am really glad I held out for exactly what I wanted.

I have tan right now and its okay. I wish we had gotten black but its okay. The tan looks good with the dark blue exterior. If it were a black interior it might have looked like a bruise! haha
