Help me decide on Interior
 
I have been through the last 50 pages on this board and am confused as ever, but I'm getting close. Just need the interior.

Going with the Alpine white and Bamboo. What's the best interior to match --- Saddle, Beige, or Tobacco???? :rolleyes:

'08, 3.0 (no Sport pack)

I say black, too. The lighter colors like beige and saddle show dirt too easy. Tobacco looks like a big candy bar. My $.02.

That was exactly my thinking...I love the black interior...makes everthing look uniform and rich...you'll get a nice contrast with the white exterior..

If you have kids, definitely go black. If not go with what you like best and by the way, black would be my choice. Good Luck!

Tobacco or Black :thumbup:

Bamboo would look pretty good with Tobacco. Black goes with everything.

The bamboo would not go with saddle or beige however. I went the other way... interior color first then chose the light poplar trim to match.

mine is white/bamboo/tobaco. and there is not better combination. When it came in everyone at the dealer was gauking over it . but its jstu a matter of personal preference.

I like black/bamboo. Personal preference.

xnsf 02-07-2008 01:26 PM

white/saddle/light wood

great contrast :thumbup:

janisX5 02-07-2008 03:47 PM

Saddle!!!

Tobacco. Without a doubt. Ours is Black Sapphire/Tobacco/Bamboo and it's absolutley stunning! We get comments about it all of the time. The tobacco color is so rich and it pairs amazingly well with the bamboo trim. You can not fully appreciate the beaty of the tobacco interior until you've seen it in person- I have yet to see a picture that truly captures the color. Go with tobacco... you will NOT be disappointed!

Tobacco here too. Everyone loves this color. We have 2 small children and this color is dark enough where it is not a problem. Like mentioned above, this color needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

e70 02-08-2008 02:54 PM

Beige+Bamboo

Saddle! It's just a beautiful color, and not one that's light enough to get dirty.

:iagree:

We chose Tobacco too paired with Platinum Bronze on the 4.8i we ordered.

We have a toddler and hopefully another within a year and the brown leather is dark enough without worrying about keeping it clean while giving the car some character with a rich tone color interior - we chose the Dark Walnut wood trim too and after having seen the combination in person, we found it stunning.

Nice combo choice.

Saddle Brown gets my pick. Really though, I'd prefer Gray or Black given the Bamboo wood trim.

Fastbuck 02-08-2008 07:24 PM

+1 for Beige/Bamboo

If you have kids go with black or tobacco. I really like the tobacco because it is dark enough to hide the dirt but rich looking too. I also thinks it pairs well with the rest of the black interior especially when enhanced with the anthracite headliner that comes with the sport pkg. Mine came with dark burl which I like too. I also like a darker contrast interior with the white exterior so I would not go with beige. Just my opinion.

In the UK we can cet a colour called Camel Navarda Leather, this brings a darker beige leather facing for the seats and armrests with the carpets and seat backs are in black, so you do not get the "coal hole" effect of all black, needles to say that is teh colour of my 3.0sd SE on order.

Fredo 02-09-2008 04:19 PM

Bamboo without a doubt. I think the others look quite awful....but I am in the UK and most cars here are specced with Aluminium.

Annoyingly, we can't get aluminium in the US. :(

I have the same problems in the beginning. AlpineWhite was fixed. So first I want to take Tobaco with Bamboo, but then I see a test-car at my dealer and I was shoked. The floors and the cockpit, all is tobaco-brown. Why they can't let it black and only the seats and the sides of the doors are Tobaco. That would be perfect ! Now I ordered AlpineWhite, Black Leather with Bamboo - Seems to be the perfect combination.

All the other browns or greys are too light and with children there will be no way. Also the Nappa-leather is not good with children, too sensitive !

And be happy, that you can't order the Aluminium in the US, it is really terrible with all combinations ! Too much Aluminium inside, looks like a Coke-can then !

What I would prefeer is a nice Carbon-design to the black leather, that I have just now in my Audi RS6plus and it looks incredible sportive !

Have a nice day...

Bye for now and good luck for making the correct personal decision !
