here's a reason i chose Redline, cream interiors make me physically ill. Blacked out all the way.
Lucky Commodores & Caprices never came with a cream interior.
It was titanium ... that's a much better & high-tech colour!

Agreed.
My Calais V is black with the cream leather interior. A great combo
I like the light coloured leather interiors in luxo cars, and tan coloured

Look at all high end luxo cars, light coloured interior

Black interiors can look like pov packs

We are straying dangerously close to the forbidden topic again!
For the same reason you only ever see bottom-of-the-range BMW's de-badged, I've completely ripped the roof-lining trim out of our VF so nobody can tell how povo we really are!!

The exposed wire spec, I like.

I drive round with a hat in the car, just so when I see a debadged M3/M5 I can doff it to the driver.

povo or not light coloured interiors do not age well (go look at older light coloured interiors and you will know what i mean) and that's my main concern, also i like the dark colours and actively choose them and/or modify to suit.

I remember looking at Calais as I was considering one when i bought my old clubby and man the interiors were ROUGH.
