I haven't had any issues with the seats in terms of staining from jeans, getting super dirty etc. I wipe them down maybe once a month. I don't have a family so I don't have kids with their drinks and soccer clothes sitting in them, if I did, black would definitely be a safer choice.

See this post for pics of my seats if you have an interest, not the highest of quality but you'll get the idea: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2773930
I'm on both sides of the fence. I love my seat color, but my jeans have stained the seats. I'll post some pics when I get home from traveling.

attached image of european alcantra/gray option looks cool
I think there are too many competing colors/textures in the S4 when you go with the 2-tone seats. my bias is to keep it simple.

I ordered mine with the two toned seats, silver and black... From the pics, I'm sure glad I ordered it that way.... All black is fine, but the two tone looks more custom to me, and since it is an S4 options, sets the car further apart from the A4, which I think is a good thing

Yah I must say that gray Alcantara is very nice. It would look pretty sweet on our Quartz cars!

Exactly!

As for the unauthorized advertising, well unless you are a registered advertiser on the site, it's a no-no. Not that I would anyway (seriously, why would you need a new alternator on a new car unless you are doing some seriously crazy high amperage draw stuff?

I tend to agree when it comes to blk/silver and blk/red, but I have seen the blk/brown and I think it is much more of a subtle conrtast and less "gee whiz!" My preference would be to go with the carbon fiber interior trim: the darker tone of that trim keeps the interior from being too jukebox-like with two-tone leather . Other than the blk/brown I would personally go with all black leather. BTW - I find that in person the blk/sliver looks too much like blk/white. I feel the silver should be a richer or deepr silver. Especially on the door panels, the silver inserts look white to me. :-)

I agree had it been black/gray I would have def gone that route.

There's a good chance I would have as well, and even more so if it was black/gray leather as opposed to black/gray Alcantara
