If black wasn't so hard to clean Ida chose the exact same thing. But with white I felt it would make the oyster look dingy because it's a slight off white so I went with what I had always wanted coral red. But hands down your color combo is sex on wheels.
Thanks!

I will say that my prior two cars were white and that or Le Mans Blue were going to be my choice this time, but wanted something I had never had before. With that in mind, I really wouldn't say that this black car is any more difficult to keep clean than my white cars. Both would show dirt at pretty similar levels. I've been really pleased with the color in this regard.

In contrast, the Oyster leather is an absolute pain to keep clean. It needs to be whipped down at least every other week or it looks very dirty. Any spills or stains, show very quickly as well. When clean, it's an amazing looking combo, but next time I might go with an easier-to-keep-clean combo...
