What do you think about the red interior in combination with the ruby black exterior?

I guess the color combination works, but I don't care for the car itself. If the driver is six feet tall, to get comfortable, his seat position leaves little or no leg room for rear seat passengers, which is insane for a car of this caliber. The S Cab is a car with too many compromises. Two local MB dealer sales managers have told me that the cars are not selling well at all. They should have built the Ocean Drive.

I am actually on the other side of my fellow members. I do like that combo. Different, and the colors work together.

Ruby Red with Begal Red color combo

[QUOTE=DutchTim1;7141860]What do you think about the red interior in combination with the ruby black exterior?


I have the S cab in Ruby red with Bengal Red exterior and was a bit hesitant as I thought it may be a bit overpowering. After owning it , its a great color combo. Ordered the metal wood dash as I was concerned of the flowing lines being a bit much. I would do it again. Big flaw is the Burmester 3d HD. The stock audio system is far better. The worst audio system I have heard and nothing MB can / will do. If you need any pictures , let me know.

Me either but to each his own. You like it and have the $$$, the only opinion that matters is yours.

Take care,

Most here have strong opinions of what works for them but as stated, personal tastes vary.

I am not a fan of combo but they exterior definitely works. The soft top color is a great fit with the ruby red.

I only like the bengal red in a sportier car, so that rules out the S-Coupe with any exterior combo, including silver or white.
