RE: Santorini Black Pure - Almond/esspresso vs Ebony

I personally prefer the almond - although as you have ordered the pano roof maybe it won't feel so claustrophobic inside with an all black interior plus the privacy glass.

almond will take a bit more effort to maintain - but think it will be a nice contrast against a black car.

Contrast black roof (to be painted soon). (Previously a Firenze Pure owner - still my favourite colour Wink)

I got the Barolo Black Dynamic with black interior and Pano roof. Absolutely love it. As Chiggy said, without the panoramic roof it would probably feel claustrophobic but instead it looks and feels great.

RE: Santorini Black Pure - Almond/esspresso vs Ebony

I would be tempted between black and almond too. I think the black is more young and sporty, the almond more classic and stylish. The Pure in black however is, to me at least, more classic and stylish than young and sporty. So I'd probably favour the almond interior. And it would provide a nice contrast indeed if that's what you're after. But this is of course personal and purely esthetically speaking. There are arguments favouring the black like: easier to maintain, will maybe age better, etc...

Hi jpleclef- I have on order Santorini Black with black ebony interior - however its a dynamic and not the same interior colour choices....If I had the choice would definately go for the black with espresso/tan interior from the prestige, but think the almond looks great too!

I prefer the lighter colours so I would go for the Almond. Not a great fan of black interiors!

Hey! The thing about prestige and dynamic owners who have ebony interior have contrast stitching with it which is nicer. Which is why i think after listening to you're comments that the almond interior might be the best way to go

If you like the old man look go for the almond, if you like a more Modern look go for the black, just MY Opinion obviously!!Very Happy

I'm with you on this, we have the same car as Chiggy on order but I wanted an auto with black interior because it's more modern and the OH wanted almond with a manual so we compromised and I guess we're both happy. Well kind of.

If you don't have a panoramic roof I'd avoid a black interior with black headlining, we sat in a car with that spec in a dealer and it felt like the roof was lower inside than my Audi A1.

On order: Feb 2012 - Pure, 5 door, SD4 auto, Style 4 wheels, Front parking, fog lights, rear camera, spare wheel. Red Contrast roof, Ebony- final spec TBC
