Whaaaaat? Are you in the US? I was told we couldn't order those until next summer! I'm changing my order if this was bad info.

I love 2 tone interiors but I don't love 2-tone seats. My Lexus was "light grey" which was basically white leather seats with black stitching, white door inserts & a white armrest. It was a really pretty combo

My X5 back in the day was truffle leather with everything else in black. It was beautiful

Some look nice, but I always worry about getting "tired" of it. I guess I'm more basic and like the monochromatic look. I do however, like the slight different you get with different seat textures. Like when you get alcantara in black. It's a different texture (and therefore slightly different color) than the black leather around it. That's what i like. Some of the new "pillow" stitching that Audi is doing looks really good too.
I'm just not a fan of the straight-up two-tone seats. Just me though...seems like more people DO like it.

I'm with you on everything you said... The two tone with different colors gives me an early 2000s vibe, since that was a big trend back then, but everyone has their opinion and if someone likes it, more power to ya....

That diamond stitching is sooooo hot

I really like the Alcantara too. It's use in the sport seats really holds your *** in place on the track.
