Yup, my wife just reminded me we can put that mat down in the backseat. But as for my wife....she likes to put one foot up on the seat when she drives. Nasty footprint on seat bottom....ick.

Really? For some reason, I would have assumed you would take a more aesthetic rather than practical approach to this decision. Not a slight at you at all, just my perception.

You're probably right. But I hate making decisions on cars based on convenience.

He has a good point, but with white leather you also may have discoloration from your blue jeans.
I personally do not like silver but that looks more grey which I do think is OK. As long as you dont hate the color of the silver then go with it. After you own the car, you probably wont think to much of the color; instead you will notice the amenities, ride comfort, and performance. Want some reviews of the car, please.

I prefer the white one. But if my kids were your kids age, I'd get the black interior. You can always get another a few years later when they're a bit older, but for now, the first footprints on the back of your front seats, juice box, cheezies or fruitbar that's squished into those white back seats and you'll be wondering how you had the mental capacity to get through med school when you couldn't make your advance reasonable choice the right one.

So, my vote is the white one......... ;-) OK. OK. I mean silver, even though the white exterior is so tempting!!!
