Yeah, I know - unfortunately with working 60 hours weeks and two toddlers, I don't have any time to work on the car any more - can't even find time to get my timing belt done at the moment - taking a day off work next week to get it done.

Mate, I bought a second car with a "poo brown" (actually it's called "camel") dash I like it so much! Beige rocks! (I despise black interiors:-))

Mike, I liked mine for 5 years too, but in the last couple of years I think its just looking a bit dated. Black is horrible if its done in cheap materials - hard shiny black plastic is nasty. But it can be done well.

Yeah, I know what you mean, the darker brown is a bit old hat. I still like the ivory interior, the lighter grey/brown ("camel") teamed with beige is a lot more up-to-date in the Koleos. But having lived in the northern outback with endless 40+ degree days, I can tell you, black interiors are like ovens, you can feel the heat in waves off the dash. It also shows every bit of fluff (we carry birds!) and also my daughter's red hair. Beige shows scuff marks more readily but I find it's easy to clean and doesn't show fluff. But I gues the younger blokes in here would be a lot more enthusiastic about keeping their interiors clean (and it's unlikely they'd be travelling with flocks of birds, at least, not the feathered kinds:-)!)

I think my wifes new car is probably what makes me think of the Soarer's interior as looking dated. Its grey and black and very high tech looking.

I love the ivory colour too, but as it happens the Ivory in my car(first few of the production line) is a darker ivory than most other ivory soarers ive seen, which means it didnt go well with black at all.

my mums c250 has a combo of ivory and black in her car, looks quite brilliant if done right
