Black and red leather
I am really close to getting a MY05 sebring silver S2000, and am tossed up about the interior. While I like the black and red now, I am not sure how I will feel with it in one year and three years down the road. For those who have it does it get old? Any regrets about going with it? Also does the red stain easy? it looks light and I am worried about it showing wear before the black. I have only had black leather in my cars and it holds up great, shows little wear, etc... And what are your thoughts in general about the black and red?

Get the black and red, it is awesome. You will not regret it. There is no way in hell I would give up my red interior for black. It just looks so badass on Sebring or Silverstone (Berlina and GPW as well) especially when you have the top down.
Also, I have no stains whatsoever and just the other day I accidentally spilled coke on my passenger seat! That scared me, thought it was going to leave a stain but nothing.
Do the 05 black/red cars come with red carpeting? Because I could see that being tough to keep clean... mine has black carpeting, with red/black door panels and red seats. Black carpet is nice because it is easy to keep it looking clean.

Really stands out against the Silverstone. The Sebring with Red/Black was my next choice if I couldn't find the Silverstone.I hear they're hard to get. YMMV.

I'm glad the new f red only had the black interior as an option, because I would be going nuts with the same decision. I'd say go with the red/black because it's so unique. I read somewhere that red leather is highly resistant to fading from direct sunlight. Some other colors have pigment problems that lead to not holding up well to fading.
