Sure, but it certainly stays nicer looking longer in black..just my experience with both.

I have no problem with it looking like a whorehouse

Again thanks for all of the feedback! I am not too worried about it wearing and getting dirty, first of all its just a car, secondly its a second car for me so it won't be seeing crappy weather any ways. My Acura sees all of the crappy weather and it seems to hold up fairly well, last time I was in a S it reminded me of the TSX in terms of materials used.

I love my black/red leather. I had all black in my '01 Silverstone (of course party due to the fact that two-tone leather wasn't available til '04), and I thought it was a bit dull.

I really like having the two colours in the interior.

if i had a choice i would have opted for black carpet. the color combo dresses up a somewhat bland interior and is classic sports car...i recommend it and the red does show spills and dirt more, but it is no problem worth it...do it...

Love the red/black interior - zeroed in on the interior first, then exterior which was limited to Sebring or Silverstone.

Added Rick's red leather sun visor covers earlier and just put on my red/black shifter boot. Whorehouse/shmorehouse - I like it!

If you think the red is bad, try the tan!

If I had bought either the Silverstone or Sebring, it would have been with the black/red interior. I think it really sets off the car. When I was getting close to buying my GPW, I was waffling back and forth between the Suzuka and GPW and then Honda announced the two tone interior on the Silverstone and Sebring. I finally found one right before I ordered my car and it almost changed my mind.

Almost!

My all red interior is very low maintenance, I think a black interior would be worse as (like black paint) it shows dust and dirt up more readily?

Actually, it's been my experience that black leather hides dirt about as well as anything. The leather isn't as shiney as the paint is so imperfections and light dirt don't show up as readily. My only real issue with black leather, especially in a convertible, is that you can fry eggs on it if it's left in the sun for any length of time. I've gathered from some comments that others have made that his isn't necessarily the case in a lot of places but it's certainly been my experience here on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Not by a long shot. Really the black interior is much lower maintenance. Black paint=high maintenance, but inside, the black is easier to keep clean. I do bet the tan is even worse than red.
