Default Sterling or Black Interior?

I'm getting ready to make my purchase on a IS250 AWD and I was just curious to know what color is most popular and which one most people seem to get. Seems like the majority of the cars I have seen so far all have the black interior......

If black is easier to maintain, then that's good enough reason for me.... Black it is then.... lol

Black!
I was tired of sitting on a towel with my other light leathered vehicles.

Another one for BLACK!!!
Classic look, also have you seen the sterling in person? To me it just didn't look as nice as the black, I won't say cheap well yes a bit cheaper look. Just my 2cents.

Man, I was trying to decide the same thing when I was getting my car. I was going back and forth, back and forth.... and I finally went with black. I'm glad I did.

Black is it, luv mine, but it does show EVERY little spec of dirt and grass that gets on it. I just couldn't take the contrast in colors on the dash where the Sterling or Cashmere met the black dash.

I guess I'm in the minority--I got Sterling (with Tungsten exterior). I didn't want to bake every time I got in the car. Not sure why everyone thinks that if you get black, you don't see dirt ^^^^^.

YOU have to live with the car--which do YOU like better??

I lived with my black interior through the 100 degree Texas summer and didn't have any uncomfortable issues. Just turn on the seat vents and the tush is nice and cool.

I have black interior as well

I originally wanted cashmere but I'm glad I went with black.

Black shows dust very easily though. I hardly drive my car and I get dust btw the seats and I hate it!
