Berry/Red Interior...

OK I'm getting mixed reviews over berry interior. IMHO like it, different kinda racey I've seen Fcars and Lambos pull it off - wondering if the SL does. This is on a silver car...

Opinions please...

I think it's beautiful on the SL. At first this was what I was looking for in an interior. When I found my black on grey one I "settled" though.

Freakkin' sick. I was looking for that interior when I purchased my SL600... then I realized it doesn't come like that on the 600s.

I think it's drop dead gorgeous in an R230. I once had a guy stop me on the street and ask which shop did my "custom" interior.

I'm truly jealous. Looks very nice.

Yes -- the black-on-berry is pretty amazing. I think it does best with a dark exterior over a light one, myself.

Exactly what I was thinking even though I'm not particularly partial to the berry myself since I use my SL as a daily driver and would probably get sick of all the red. But as a "play" car in SL55 guise with a pewter/grey/black exterior color, it's pretty nice.

I love my Black with Berry Red Interior! I ordered it just that way and I get a number of compliments on it.

I love the red interior...saw a gorgeous Silver with Red SL600, but the stupid dealer wanted a fortune for it at the time.

I love the red interior matched with a black exterior. If you get a dark tint-when you open up the doors, the red just jumps out at you like, "POW!"

Looks HOT!!!
