Default Why do people order the gto with the dark seats

The one thing I really like is the color matched seats and guages..

There is an upkeep issue and some just like them. Personally mine are red.

I personally don't like the colored interiors. It's too 80's. My 89 IROC had the red leather... it got old.

I think it's all an opinion. I'd go with black.

I like the colored seats. But, Black is always beautiful (as in it never shows dirt).

Black on black is way too much for me, so the red sounded just different enough.

Impluse blue with blue interior would be too much blue for my taste. If my goat was black I'd go with the red interior

I'm very much into the gothic sub culture. Since there is nothing darker than black that was my only choice. LOL Acutally I chose that because it didn't look like the silly rice burners running around my neighborhood. Oh I've had mine for two days now. Hate the skip shift feature but that will be going away soon.

Lots of people think it looks boy racerish. Or that a red leather interior is a bit too "pimp-tastic", like Huggy Bear's cadillac.

On the other hand, I want a Purple/Purple GTO. And I wish you could get Yellow with Purple or vice versa.
