The burgundy interior of this '03 S8 looks bad in pictures. Anybody seen one in person?

The other two '03 S8 interiors (caramel/black and Platinum/blck) look great. I love the Avus silver exterior color on this S8, but the burgundy interior looks like a room in an Italian brothel. Is this just a set of bad pictures or does it look more classy in person? I thought all '03 S8's got the sycamore wood trim, not the birdseye gray wood.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2438981199&cat egory=6055">2003 S8 on ebay</a></li></ul>

I was looking at it side by side next to the new A8L last week. Same color combo. The salesman say that a lot of people would like to buy the car but they get turned off by the interior color.
I said that it's so nice....it is definitely a cult color! The 03 S8's have such nice leather, they only brought in 3 colors, about 350 cars total for 03. The color is much darker than in the pictures....it's really nice.
I would love to have an 03 S8 with either that color or the black with carmel....it's really, really sharp....and CULT!
With the wheels, it's just such a nice looking car, but I would put H&R's on it to complete the look!

I LOVE the Avus silver - but saw some pics of the burgundy interior and decided to go with a 'plain old' silver exterior with black interior. I wouldn't have been able to see the burgundy in person until after I bought the car. And I didn't really want to risk it...
I have seen some great burgundy leather interiors though, and I figure that Audi designers have pretty good taste and wouldn't make it obnoxious.
Anyways, my 'new' ('02 used) Silver/Black S8 should be delivered this weekend. And I'm not at all nervous about what I'll think of the interior color. But I will probably wish I had Avus silver...
