i got black not by choice...IMO, willow interior makes the ryde seem more luxorious but like Alan said, it's hard to keep clean especially if there's a heavy flow of traffic from friends. I wanted the OB exterior with willow interior. DAMNIT!

My previous two cars had willow or beige leather interior and yes they looked more luxurious. When I got the coupe in 03 I didn't have much choice and ended up with black. I wasn't happy being in South Florida with a black interior but if I had the choice to do it again...I'd get Black. My lighter interiors showed more use although I cleaned regularly. With the window tint and shade savers during the day, the black interior is comfortable enough even in Florida. Just my opinion.

I have Willow and would NOT have it any other way. I'll tell you why:

1.) It shows detail that the black looses in itself.
2.) It's two-tone, and that just adds a nice factor, I personally love two tone interiors. Maybe silly,,,but still
3.) It's not hard to keep clean, at least for me b/c I NEVER roll the windows down and drive it only on the weekends. Not too many passengers. Usually just me, some music, the smell of burnt rubber and a smile on my face.
4.) It looks more Luxry and sporty at the same time.
5.) Black actually shows more wear on the leather than a lighter color!

The only way I would get black is with the black exterior ("black on black").

By the way ignore my screen name, that was the color I used to like, but now, I'm in love with SilveronWillow!

Thanks, Just my .02, so hopefully I won't have to "step into the flame suit", LOL!

I have willow, by choice. In my opinion, black is just too black. Don't get me wrong, I like how you don't have to take care of black as much and the fact that it can hide some blemishes or spills, but willow to me, just seems more classy. My brother on the other hand will ALWAYS get dark black interior, I on the other hand will try to always get a lighter color interior.

Either way, it's your own decision. We can only give you our opinions and insights, but maybe you should just go to a dealership and see which one you like better. Good luck

Black definitely. It makes the whole interior look more luxurious, not to mention easy to keep clean.

I saw an IP coupe a few weeks ago with black interior. Was that combo only offered for a year? I'm not a big fan of white cars but with the contrasting interior it looked great. I've always wanted a black coupe with white interior, but I guess that would have to be custom.

I have silver with willow, but I'm not a big fan of the willow. Wheat in IMO seems better. Willow kinda has that very slight greenish tint that kinda looks like the skin tone of someone who's sick.
