Looking for photos of Monaco Blue/Gray Nevada combo

Great board guys. I'm thinking about Monaco Blue and trying to decide on an interior color. I go back and forth between black and sand beige but I've managed to track down a 2008 model that is available with Gray Nevada interior.

Would love to see some pics. I'm hoping the gray isn't too "cold" looking.

Thanks!

I think the gray interior is a good match for Monacoblau and will make your car a bit more distinct. Monacoblau and Beige leather is probably the #3 or #4 combo in the popularity........so boring.

Thanks for the replies and photos. That blue looks really sharp. It appears darker in real life than on the website (colors never look right on the configurators of most car companies). I'm glad it's darker, I'm not a big fan of medium depth or light blues unless they become more of a silver/blue.

Flossy...do you have any interior shots?

My dealer had one Blue with Saddle Brown interior that looked very sharp. You may want to see one with that combination before making a decision. Good luck.

I have the Monaco Blue/Grey combo and while it looks good, I sometimes wish I went with the beige instead. I liked the fact that Monaco Blue is distinctly blue during the day but appeared as if it were black at night.

Clearly Blue/Beige and Blue/Saddle are very nice combinations. The beige and Saddle have the effect of "warming" up the interior environment in terms of color tones. While the gray has a "cooler" color tone, IMO it gives off a slightly more sporty look vs. the more luxurious look of beige/saddle. My only hesitation about the gray is does it look too stark?

I'd love to see some more interior photos of the gray if anyone has any pics.

Here are some not so recent shots, the color is great, just needs allot of TLC - so frequent hand washing.

Cheers,

Wow..that is stunning. I closed on my deal for an 08 4.8i in Monaco Blue/Gray on Friday over the phone (totally sight unseen deal!) and I have to say I'm pretty stoked after seeing these pics. Both my wife and I were drawn to Blue/Beige which also looks really nice but I really love the contrast of the dark blue and gray. To my eyes, the gray also complements the clean/modern lines of the interior.

Thanks again for taking the time to post these photos!

AJ
