Default Sprint Blue with Black/Brown?

Getting ready to order a 2011 S4 in Sprint Blue. I really like the two tone interior but I think the Black/Silver is too light as far as long term cleanliness is concerned. The Black/Red is out for obvious reasons, which leaves Black/Brown. Does anyone have any pictures of this combo by itself and/or with the Sprint?

I went with straight black silk nappa with the Sprint Blue. Looks very nice. I think Black/Red would look better than Black/Brown. OMI.

Does not sound like a good color match at all! I would get the silver/black and just clean more often and be a little more carefull...actually...I did.

If i had an option of ordering an s4.. i would order a sprint blue with the brown interior. That is extremely rare and as weird as it sounds, its a gorgeous combination. MY favorite on any luxury or sporty car.

Here is a whole thread on it on bmw forums, http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7257563

Thanks for the imput, both positive and negative. I'm thinking that if it weren't a valid exterior/interior combo then Audi wouldn't offer it. Also, somebody has to have a picture of the Black/Brown interior, as it's a 'normal' color to choose with either black or white exterior. Somebody, please!

I had entertained the idea of getting the Tuscan Brown interior with Sprint Blue for an S5, as it kind of matches the combination of jeans and leather boots. I decided to go with the Black/Silver Alcantara instead because I liked the feel of the Alcantara seats a bit better.

I think that makes more sense than the blue/red which is the "superman" look.

Audi just needs to bring back the blue interior. That was nice.

IMHO, it will look OK. But do you really want the car to look OK . IMHO, only silver or black really look good with Sprint. But its your car . If thats what you like and think it looks good, then by all means go for it.

Sprint Blue with Brown interior would work if the entire seat were Brown, but I don't think the black/brown interior combo works with a blue exterior. I only considered black/black alcantara and black/silver leather or alcantara when I ordered my 2011 SB S4 since I wasn't really feeling any other interior/exterior combo.
In the end it'll be your car though so if you like the Black/Brown with SB combo.....GET IT.
