I've had pretty good luck w/ Sonax line of products in terms of keeping alcantara clean. Also probably helps I had a professional go at it when I first got the car in terms of cleaning/protecting it. Still has its moments when it's fussy, though.

And, to prove your point @Houston.Z35, I'm also admittedly pretty OCD when it comes to car cleanliness lol.

It was a Combo, Leather / Alcantera

Denim Transfer was a VERY real thing in that interior, within the first 3 mos of ownership I started to see it. Also when it started to get oily and shiny it would start to take on an orangeish color. It got dirty very quickly.

If the interior is 100% clean, it looks off. You had to be anal to keep it nice.
And that’s why I’m sticking to black.
However it does depend on the material…and I believe the suede leather combo is easier to clean….it was on the Peugeot anyway.
But I think coloured detailed stitching like that on the Proto would have been a much better path to go down.
It’s the only thing I’d change

so far the results are pretty surprising to me. black interiors are usually preferred by a huge margin, but here we are at almost all 3 colors tied.

those that voted "i don't care as long as i get the z" could swing the poll either way...

18 black
15 blue
15 red
7 don't care

so after seeing the red & black version, that's what i'll go for, verses solid red, if it's available in the usa.

that's if go with boulder, blue or gunmetal...

I realize this is all personal preference, but what do you guys think about a yellow exterior with the red/black interior combo?

That's classic ITR colors. Nothing wrong that that.

Are you German? Lol
Mostly Irish, but I'm not sure if that's better or worse.

The problem is, I really want the yellow after seeing it in person, but a plain black interior is kind blah to me. That's what I currently have in my Impala. I can't afford the Proto spec car even if I could find one and the blue seems to be too much.

I could hold off until MY23 to see if any additional interior colors are available, but I worry the yellow may be a launch color only available for MY22.
