Default What is your HONEST OPINION on a White Convertible with Red interior.

Howdy ya'll. Everyone likes and dislikes other colors. Black is my least favorite, but it is alot of peoples favorite ever. Some hate yellow, some think its the best. So noone's fellings will be hurt if you say "White sucks", or "red interiors suck". It is your opinion, however, try to keep it a little classy :D

I am thinking of getting a white/red/white convertible, but would like to know what ya'll think of the color combo. This is not for my personal use, because my mind is already made up, but I want to see what kind of a resale market I would be looking at.

Remember, this is for White/Red Convertibles (with the top down so we don't have to get into top color).

Thanks in advance,
Andy

"...Never seen a Red Cow.":eek IMO, Red makes an awful color inside, Classic black or Gray make for a smoother interior color combo. It's your car though so do what makes you happy!

My 94 is white with red interior. It seems like people either love or hate the interior, and they don't hold back on expressing their opinion. I personally really like a color combo like white and red, that brings out these type of responses, whether positive or negative.

I personally do not like the torch red interior. It seems to me that it is more orange than red. :cheers:

I dont really like red interior either.

I dont like Red/Red
I dont like black/red

But white or pewter and red looks cool (as well as GSs) IMHO.

Don't really like red interiors...never did much for me. Some look great, but most don't to me, but I am prone to liking car styles and colors that most others dislike.

I do like the white/red combo. In fact, that is what my '86 has! But, my last Corvette had red interior also (Silver over DK Claret with red interior, '82 model) and so, after 11 years of red interior Corvette ownership, I will look for a non-red interior for my next Corvtette. I guess I just got tired of it after so long. I would rather have a saddle or white interior now.

The red interiors seem to be a bit much. Just my opinion.

I'm not a big fan of red interiors. It's too cliche for me and even a bit "pimpin'" to me. I guess its because i prefer to be a little more subtle than most and a red interior is anything but subtle.

But like you said, color is a personal preference, so no flames intended. There are many who don't like my color combo: black/black. Variety makes the world go 'round.

I like Red interiors and would not have bought my Grand Sport if it had black interior.

I can understand your insecurity, I don't have that problem as I have the BEST color combo of all, Silver with Red interior :D

Listen, Andy, you're young, so I'll give you a heads up, chicks dig the red interior. I don't know why, and I can't use it to my advantage (16.5 years into a great marriage), but if I was you, I'd go for the red guts. The only other item I have owned that got a better reaction from women was my Golden Retriever.

Hope this helps,
Eric

So basically, after I get a red interior vette, the first cruise should be the the pound? :lol:

I don't like convertibles

However, the bottom line is buy what you like. We all have different tastes in cars :seeya

My favorite interior color is Red, and there is very high chance the next Vette that I get will have a Red interior. At the time I bought my Vette the only color combo that i would buy were white/red, Black/Red, Red/Red, and Dark Red/Graphite and Black/Graphite.

I like the White/Red color combo on the 84-90 C4, but I am not so hot about white on the 91 up C4, because I just don't like the turn signal/fog light area of the newer C4 and I feel white accentuates it. The 96 with the Body color in between the front/side makes it a little better.

I love red interiors And my 96 white with red has never elicited a negative comment on color.

Just my opinion here but I think the red interior is a bit much. I do like interiors highlighted with red accents. Doesn't matter what we think it's whatever you are happy with. Good luck!!!
