For some reason black will last a long time looking like new.

Torch Red/Brownstone
I'm planning on ordering a Torch Red exterior. Probably the most common combo would be with a Kalahari interior. However, I keep a car for a relatively long time, and I think Kalahari would show a lot of dirt. I was wondering how a Torch Red/ Brownstone combo in 3LT would look. Anyone have any pictures?

Dealer here had TorchRed/Gray also. The gray is really light. If the OP is concerned about dirt, I doubt Gray would be good.
I've seen Kalahari through a car window at one dealer; I didn't think it was that light that it warranted concern. Wife's 2004 Acura had that color interior; we just got rid of it and the interior looked pretty good concerned the kids grew up with that car. I'm sure the OP is a lot neater.

I saw the Laguna Blue 3LT w/ Brownstone + Suede upgrade (The dealer Special Version w/luggage) at a local dealer. Wife/I impressions are -too dark, almost black, but pretty nice feeling material. It most definately will hide dirt, but didn't seem a good match for Laguna.
I sit corrected. I just saw the Apillars in another Brownstone interior. Of course it was dark, it is black suede from that pic.

I initiated a Poll on this forum a week or so ago and asked which interior was preferred with Torch Red - Kalahari or Adrenaline
The results were:
62% Kalahari
38% Adrenaline Red
Over 140 people voted.
The reason I started the Poll was because I saw that with Torch Red dealers were ordering from allocation about 1 Kalahari to every 8 or so Adrenaline Red.
It would seem that based on the results, for Torch Red exterior, dealers should consider ordering more Kalahari and less Adrenaline Red, as that is the preferred combo.

Will be curious how it shakes out at the end of the this year...for once I think Black has a chance of NOT being the #1 interior...

Would the better tracker be just those that were custom ordered?
