Ash leather interior

I’m considering the ash leather interior with my silver exterior, but have heard some people complain of an annoying reflection of the dashboard in the windshield to the point of being annoying while you drive. Anyone with an ash interior, do you see this reflection and is it a real problem?

I prefer the ash over the charcoal because I find the charcoal too dark. I know that ash is more difficult to keep clean, but I don’t have any kids or dogs in the car to get it dirty. I really like the stone interior, but that obviously doesn’t go with silver, but would look nice with the desert silver or firemist.

Thanks!
Michele

Ash tends to look plasticky. I have not noticed a glare when sitting in one.

I ordered Charcoal -- although I agree with you it looks dark, overall it looks the best (IMO) since we are not buying CL600s with leather dashboards.

My clk 320 is on order I also ordered ash interior and black opal exterior. I like the contrast.
I have not heard or read any information about the glare. Personaly I think the charcoal is to dark for my taste. I do not have kids or animals so keeping it clean should not be a problem. I really like the stone but I think it is too light I think it would be reallly hard to keep clean.

I am sure it will be hard to keep clean, but Ash looks great:
