Ash leather interior
I’m considering the ash leather interior, 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.
Thanks!

I've seen all the interior colors except the pacific blue. They are all nice but...I don't like the lack of contrast between charcoal and the woods which detracts a lot from that color. The stone is nice and classy - my last three cars had that interior (or very similar) so I wanted a change. The ash is terrific - my dealer has said it is the most popular. Has a nice 'cool' aura and goes great with both wood options (sport vs non-sport).

Kassav, this color looks like Stone to me. However, I saw it in the showroom and they said it was Ash. HOWEVER, I saw another car in the parking lot labeled "Ash" and it was definitely more of a Gray color. What am I missing??? I am completely confused as to what is Ash and what is Stone! For example, you're saying the picture above is "Ash" and the one above VroomVroom posted is also labeled "Ash". These do not appear to be the same interior colors. I thought Vroom's picture was Ash and yours would be considered Stone. I'm ready to place my order, but now I am totally confused - don't want to order the wrong color and be completely surprised when it arrives!

I like your dark floormats. Are those the honeycomb design all weather MB mats? I use those ALL the time.

Vectra, I ordered ash and that is what I got. I like it though. I am attaching another picture that may help. Maybe it is just the picture quality. What I have got is not brownish as would have been with the stone leather.

Vectra,
I think another reason you were confused was the comment about the dash being a darker ash...
Remember, the interior is a two tone with the lighter color leather complimented by a bit darker shade on the plastic (or whatever it is ) dashboard tops,etc.
Stone is MUCH different, a very light beige with a hint of yellow.

I thought ash was the grey-like color that Vroom posted, however, Kassav's color seems to be Stone. Again, does this mean there are two types of ash? Please clarify.

Yes, the interior is two-tone, as you see in the pix.
