Default just a late night bs topic, Interior ?

My Interior looks so light almost grey. I know the plastic is still on and its an overcast day but still I see some Interior pics of black cars and they look dark. I know I am just worried and it will be dark when I get it right? I can't wait till it's in my driveway already. any pics of black interior in the day?

Pic just looks like that due to lighting. It will be black and nice when you receive it. The grey interiors in the IS look almost white. You will be fine and you will enjoy this interior. Much much better than the cheap looking gen 1's.

its just the lighting, if you get black tint it will seem even darker looking in from the outside

I think it's just a bad photo, I think the plastic on the seats is reflecting a lot of the light causing the interior to look lighter than it is. Here's mine at 1 day old.
