Default dolphin grey 1.8, with ebony or platinum interior?

I know its a personal choice, but I can't make up my mind. Plantinum looks brighter and bigger. Does anyone think the leatherette looks more like leather in ebony or platinum? What do you folks think?

Default I went with the platinum.

If you plan to tint, the darker the interior, the darker the car will be during daylight and especially nighttime situatioms.

I have two audis with dark interiors and quite frankly I am getting a little tired of it. I wanted the Dolphin/Beige but it was unavailable.

As for the leatherette, man I tell ya, it feels and looks more like leather than the leather does in the new A4's IMHO. Just my .02 cents.

Leatherette looks best in Ebony, but has got to be hot in the summer.

Default I ordered dolphin with ebony because...

I felt the dash looked a lot better in ebony, the ebony leatherette looks more like leather, and the dark interior/dash goes well with the sports package.

I've got dolphin with Platinum. Between that and the AWESOME non-wood dash, you can't go wrong!

Ebony better w/ leatherette & "sportier"; Platinum "classier".

Default you don't see dust on light colors, but you definitely do on dark ones...

I got a set of the premium rubber mats in black to address the dirty carpet issue, and the rest simply stays clean...
