I really like the look of Titanium Grey Designo with Black Ash wood trim instead of Piano Black. With the ash trim you can get the wood steering wheel. Here's a shot of one I let get away a few months ago.

I really wish you could get a light color headliner wth the Designo option as the black just closes everything in to me.

Love and had the red interior but with a white car I would get the a brown interior. Couple choices: Exclusive Nappa Saddle Brown/Black (514) or Designo X10 (Sand/black) or X35 (light brown/black).

The best value is by far Exclusive Nappa interior. This gives you the full leather treatment (inc. dash, doors, all panels) + dynamica headliner for $1900.
Designo is $4500 with nothing extra (only different colors - same leather quality/dynamica hl)
