Amazing work as always @Haste! I saw one with a white interior chop awhile back. It looked pretty sweet, but keeping white leather clean is a pain... ?
A video on youtube right? I was going to post it on here but I can't find it anymore. I guess someone took it down.

For sure. We have cornsilk beige interior in our Passat and it's a pain to keep clean. Can't even imagine white. I was in awe though of the white on the Q60 Concept the first time I saw it, but I'm sure living with it everyday would be a different story...

My Outback has a light tan interior and is quite literally the dumbest shit ever. Why put a light interior in an Outback? Impossible to keep clean.

I love the white, but as a mum washing white soccer shorts for my boys every weekend has put me off anything white for life

To be honest, both blue and red interiors will only really work on a handful of paint colors. Red would look great with black, blue would look good with white or blue, etc. Black interior would still be the safest choice. Ideally, I want blue on blue like the car they used in unveiling, but wouldn't mind black. Since I want a blue car, red interior would look horrendous on it

I never had red leather before, but a guy with a 370Z said his seats faded to pink over time.

The only car I ever owned with red leather was a 94 FD and it didn't have any fading issues.

Current car has red leather and no fading issues anywhere either. Front seats are pretty worn given their age and use, but I'm thinking of replacing them soon and taking better care of them next time. Leather on the door cards has held up well, and the rear seat and sides in the back look practically brand new still since no one ever goes back there.

Yeah, I'd imagine if you parked outside in a hot/sunny climate + didn't use a sun visor + didn't have proper tint + didn't take care of seats via cleaning/protectant, sure I could see some color fading. In that case, that's just bad ownership lol.

My very first Z, a Z31, was white with red leather.

When I sold Nissans back in '89-91, I sold a white/red 5spd TT Z32. We had to get it by dealer trade in Ft. Lauderdale. Guess who went to fetch it 'cause he sold it? ???

Unfortunately, I arrived back about an hour after the store closed. Guess who got to park it in his driveway overnight? ???
