#GIMS: If YOU Were Buying, Would You Spec The All-new Volvo V60 With A BLACK Interior Or Would You Rather See PLAID?

As I noted in my previous thread, the all-new Volvo V60 is here. And though the last story discussed the vehicle's design, I was only discussing its exterior. 

Now we're going to move to the cockpit. 

Volvo V60

This is with good reason as Volvo is being a bit daring. And I have to say, I like it. With the all-new V60, Volvo has given buyers the option of a plaid-spec interior. It reminds me of what Volkswagen did with its MKV Golf GTI. It's a polite nod to the company's past. 

It's also showing that Volvo has no problem putting its neck on the line as it did with the XC40 — you can go bold with the optional, orange-y/red carpets. 

So, how would YOU spec your V60? Would you go with a traditional, black leather interior OR would you get a bit unconventional and order a plaid interior?

What say you, Spies?

No to plaid in a car.

If I were buying, I'd buy a Genesis.

I would never buy a Volvo as there is no value for the money and the maintenance/repair costs are ridiculously expensive with no aftermarket alternatives as it is too small a niche manufacturer.

I would opt for plaid leather. No cloth.

While BOTH have black floor rugs - for a station wagon - a light colored interior would be a bear to keep clean- and if you cannot use it for carrying things around - why buy a station wagon at all?

However - I am not in the market for a Volvo - they are a lot like VW - trying to move upmarket - which they are NOT - but they are pricing like it and are not worth it.

The interior seems to be a mix between cloth and leather. Think they might be able to draw certain buyers if the go full vegan on the interior instead of leaving bits of leather behind... Not that I really care, but some people would prefer a full vegan interior instead.
