I guess thats a little surprising...does the Flaxen show dirt that much? SOunds like black is the way to go.

The one main drawback with black ont is it gets shinny with wear easier than a light color.

Black interiors are my favorite and the black interior on the GS350 is nothing short of fantastic.

I have an F-Sport with the black interior. I think it looks great. Mind you, I typically prefer a black interior. My only issue would be that it shows dust and such a bit more than other colors.

I normally always get black interior. It's the easiest color to maintain. My wife was sick of the black int and we went with light grey. It took me some time to get used to it but now I love it. The contrasting stitching is really cool and it keeps the car light and airy. Black is always a safe choice but I'm really digging this new interior choice that I recently made.

the only problem with black interior is that there are two other nicer interiors to pick from.

To me flaxen looks more luxurious than black. I remember when I was car shopping, black was the only color on my list. However, once I saw the flaxen I was sold, I knew this was the color I wanted. Yes, it requires more maintenance, but with right chemicals it only takes 10 - 15 mins to clean the dirt. That of course if you do it every 2 weeks
