Default Opinions on interior colors for silver exterior (1.8T)

The obvious choice is onyx and most silver cars come with it. Very nice, but a little monotonous and possibly a problem during hot summer days?

Opal gray. Again, monotonous I am not too crazy about light grey dash/steering. Too bland?

Then there are the 3 ecru combos: ecru/onyx, ecru/blue, and ecru/clay, all available with silver exterior. Do any of them go with silver? (haven't seen any ecru in person yet). I am especially interested in ecru/clay and ecru/onyx. Any one of you guys have any of these combos with a silver 1.8T? Any opinions?

Onyx is so obvious because it works so well. Summer heat isn't a problem. Nonworking A/C would be!

Too bad they don't have the gray seat with onyx dash/steering option in the US.

Default Someone posted a pic of a really cool interior a while back....

I think, but I'm really not sure it was Gray leatherette with ambition atmosphere. It was really different/cool.

Default I have ecru-clay interior with my melange (the exclusive silver) exterior

A nice match for these light metallic colors IMHO. This picture although does not show the pleasant contrast between the light colored leatherette services and the brown/tan panels and dash.

Default Are those radio controls?!?

Are those radio controls on the steering wheel? If so, when did they start offering it? It's just one of those nice little features I hoped to see added to the A4. Thanks in advance...
