My lexus had a light interior and I adored that car, but nobody was allowed in it dirty!!

My better-half's car isn't too bad a compromise, the hood-lining (or whatever the appropriate term is for the underside of the roof) and pillar trims are light ('titanium' in GM-speak) but the stuff you sit on & touch is all black & dark grey. The higher-spec (HSV) cars all had black overhead, and I had zero chance of convincing her to get one of those because they feel more closed-in ... being a modern wagon design, looking out the rear window is already like looking through a window at the other end of a tunnel.

On the subject-line topic, there's a thread right next to this at the moment where the poster's got a 2019 <something>90, and has already spent heaps on it. Something new is no guarantee of reduced maintenance costs.
