Pewter Metallic / Ash interior

Comments: Comments from everyone on how gorgeous the color combination looks. The wonderful contrast of the light leather/mbtex with the dark brown wood trim, and also, I just love the light interior from the outside as well -- it definately stands out more than the black interior. Negative being its a wee bit more work to keep clean - I clean her up every 6 months and keep rubber mats inside.

Take another pic of your car. I couldn't tell it was Orion blue from the photo. My dealership doesn't even have very many white cars. They only have silver and black, some grays, and a red.

The Ferrari red that you saw that was too orangy was the "Rosso Scuderia". This is a fairly rare colour. The more common colour is the "Rosso Corsa" which isn't orangy.

The BMWs in the US have several red versions. The most common are the "Electric Red" and the "Imola Red". The electric red in my opinion is a bit orangy, however, the Imola Red is very beautiful and dark.

The Audi red found on the RS4 is very attractive, this could possibly be the similar red that you are referring to as the "VW" red.
