Color and interior preferences

What do people think about color combinations and interiors? What are your favorites? What about the sidewalk package?

How about the malt brown English leather upholstery? Black panther leather? Blue leather? Cordoba?

Dashboards: anthracite, silver, blue etc?

Post pictures!!!

Personally, I like lightning blue with black bonnet stripes, black topic, black leather, and anthracite dashboard. I also like pepper white with a black top, no stripes. I don't like the blue leather, and the blue dashboard is just ok. I don't like the chrono meter and think it's pointless. I would also go with leatherette over cloth and I don't understand the point behind the leather, cloth combo.

Discuss...

[FONT='Courier New']Well we just purchased a 2007 sidewalk s in Astro black, So I am biased in saying that is the best! It also has the chrome package. [/FONT]

Interior Preferences?

It didn't matter, I did my own thang.

Well, since you mentioned pepper white w/ no stripes....




Black Leatherette interior, which is nice enough to not warrant the leather IMHO.




I've got to respectfully disagree with you about the Chrono pack, though. Anthracite is nice, but you should consider the matching dash option.


I love the Sidewalk package and would have gotten it, if it wasn't for the fact that it came with the H/K upgrade which clashes with my visions of aftermarket ear canal damage (of the cars next to me )

Here is our Dark Silver with Black Leather and Anthracite. I am really pleased with how the Anthracite goes with the DS.




Hope these help... I'm also very partial to Hot Orange w/ black if only I lived in good ol'Tennessee (Go Vols)

So far I'm happy with my original choice.

BRG with all black interior. I also like the look with the NAV package on the dash.

Sidewalker,
Pure envy over here. That's much better than my beige/black anthracite interior.

Thanks! But it's a matter of opinion...not necessarily better, just different! I've seen the beige/black combo in person, and I dig that too!

What do People think of Alloy Patina?

My dealer has the car I want except it's in alloy patina instead of the anthracite I was looking for. I haven't actually seen alloy patina in person. Does anybody have it? What do people think of it?
