Default S4 recomendations please....

Here are the choices:

Imola Yellow w/Onyx leather - Silver Alcantara
Nogaro Blue pearl effect w/Silver leather

Also....

This will be an every day car, how will the Silver Alcantara hold up?

Does the Imola Yellow show dirt like White?


Thanks in advance.

Imola Yellow with Onyx Black Leather....definately. Maybe it's just me but the suede inserts are very practicaly to stop you from sliding around, but they start looking like an old rag doll after a year. You can never go wrong with getting all leather.

I agree with Reflex about the leather(silver-good feel,great looking).However,as much as I like Imola,I believe it attracts too much unwanted attention.You can't go wrong with Nogaro-I love mine!

i own a nogaro/silver so i'm a bit biased, but i absolutely love the combination -- it has a very "clean" look to it. i've only owned it for five weeks, but so far no problems taking care of the leather.

i must admit that imola is striking though -- there's an imola/onyx that is often around town and it really looks great.. then again, i think the guy cleans it constantly (like i don't ;-)<p>--

Both Imola and Nogaro scream "LOOK AT ME". Silver is the stealthiest and the fastest of course.

Default What??? Have you ever SEEN year old Alcantara?

Its not Suede, its 100% synthetic. The stuff will last a lot longer looking new than any leather does -- thats why its what they use in Ferrari's, and its why its a lot more expensive to buy than leather.

A year ago I was thinking about buying an alcantara couch, but couldn't justify the $1000 premium over leather.
