Where is the the black fabric??? I don't like leather, give me cloth. Maybe black is for both the leather and cloth?

That was my assumption.

The "Red" and "Tan" are the insert colors. They are set on black seats regardless.

So a "black" insert would appear totally black on the black seat. Just think of the entire diagram as insert colors. I don't think however, you will get colored inserts on cloth.

Thanks for the update - so black with red inserts for me I think.

What exterior goes better with that - red or titanium grey?

The red looks REALLY nice, but insurance on a sports car with red... not for me

My insurance agent (State Farm) told me that's a myth. My insurance was the same no matter what color car I bought.

Same thing. The metallic glint is created by minute flecks of mica in the paint.

After seeing the cars in person tonight, I didn't think the red leather matched the red mica car. The red of the car is far brighter than the leather. So the leather looked dull.

The red will probably look better in a black car.

I wonder if the black will make it hard to see the curves of the sheetmetal. I'm thinking about Titanium grey with red leather for that reason.
