Default Thoughts on EM graphite blue + cohiba?

Thoughts on EM interior in graphite blue and cohiba? After many hours searching, I came across a car that has it on the inside. I can't decide if I like it or not. I'm curious if folks have thoughts on the exterior colors that could pair well with it. IGM? Arctic? Others?

To me, it is odd and I can't quite put my finger on it. It looks just okay. I wouldn't want it in my vehicle, however if someone else got it, I would think they must really like blue/brown combos.

The interior would be the color splash, so, maybe you are on the right track with the whites and super light colors.

Looks great to me! I have boring black, because that's what I wanted, but if you want this or like this, I totally get that. It's quiet, flash.

@PHX i agree. I saw a graphite/chalk interior on a IGM car in person and I really liked it…but I would
prefer something darker than chalk….and I’d like to do EM interior.
I will probably just end up with black/cohiba or one of the Heritage interiors…but I’m flirting with something more unique first 😝

Outstanding looking car. I love it. But, I am a sucker for truffle, cohiba, or heritage interior.

That looks spectacular. If it works as a sharp suit and shoe combo it works as an interior.

Any thoughts on the exterior colors that would complement it the best? Or even Graphite/Cognac? I suspect IGM. Maybe Silver? Arctic? Would it be too much with Gentian?

It would be stunning with gentian paint. I like it with the aventurine green too, although any green would be bitchin

Quick, sad, update. I just got back from test driving a used TTS with 18-way. My SA strongly encouraged me to test drive an 18-way car first (I have a bad back).

18-way was not comfortable for me at all. I sat in a 14-way and it was much better (similar to my Cayenne Turbo seats). Since you can’t get anything but standard interiors with 14-way, I am striking out on doing EM or Heritage. I will look into contrast stitching and seat inserts, but pretty bummed.

Sorry to hear that. On the good side, having to “settle” for 14 way seats in a TTS doesn’t seem too bad. Lol

I’m sorry, $255k Canadian for a C4, not even a 4S? What in the world
