I was told by the Concierge this morning that the Natural Dipped interior will come with suede instead of leather on the center console area, the door armrests, mode switch cover, and portions of the dash. I did not think to ask If Morello Red Dipped would also have all that extra suede as well. But it might affect your choice if there is a significant amount of suede on all those horizontal surfaces.

That is fascinating. That is at odds with their pricing/options guide. Thanks for posting.

Thank you all so much for the posts. The photo of the c7 with the spice interior was especially helpful. This seals it for me. Thank you thank you!

Yes, my Concierge confirmed for me the Morello Red dipped has the sueded micro-fiber on the arm rests and console as well as the a-pillars, windshield surround, headliner and behind the seats. The removable roof panel also gets a Morello Red sueded micro-fiber section with accent stitching. BTW, the stitching used on the Morello Red interior is Adrenalin Red stitch.

I really like the Morello interior though and it goes very well with LBR.
FYI, Morello is more of a cherry red than Spice Red. They are two distinct colors, for what it's worth.

Has anyone seen a car with Morello Red? Does anyone have a picture they have taken , not a GM photo but a personal photo.

is anyone thinking about getting this interior and if so what would be your choice of body color?


i apologize I didn’t know I was repeating a post. My bad
Bill,

The last post gives you a good look at the Morello. This color looks stunning with the Dark Shadow Gray exterior color...fyi.

If it weren't Dipped, I would gone with it -- with CMG or Silver or DSG. Really wish at least one of the C8s out there had the Morello. Might have changed many decisions.

I also think this is a good combination, and provides the degree of luxury I want in a C8, It's currently my favorite. (along with all the other configurations I've built.) The information and photos in this thread have helped. If I had to choose today, I'd go with it and not look back. All the extra micro-suede is a big plus for me. For all the nay-sayers about how it holds up - I owned a 2014 C7 with Brownstone. The "suede" still looked new when I traded it in earlier this year. Would get again.
