jross Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Okay, this probably seems really random, but it just occured to me, I've never seen another R with a tan interior, every other one I've seen is black. So, tell me guys.. what color is yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenW Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 At first I wanted black, but the tan has grown on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jross Posted April 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I was under the impression that the T5-R's only had black as an option. In fact, when I bought my R, I was under the impression that only the T5-R's had black (one of my classmate's folks had an R with tan, it was a 850R though). I didn't realize until recently that the 850R's had at least two color choices, so I'm curious as to how evently they were distributed. I know I wouldn't trade my tan interior away, period.

boostjunkie Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 BLACK, sorry fellas no offense but the tan/beige interior looks cheap compared to the black/grey combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dons850t5r Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 My Webpagei actually like the tan better than the black ( esp. when its 90 degrees)how come i cant change my avatar - wont let me upload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jross Posted April 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 While I do like the look of the black interior, I really do like the tan better (yea, broken record,but still). It's probably just personal pref, though. One annoying thing is that the tan can be a royal bitch to keep clean, dunno how bad black is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blown_volvo850r Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Definitely black. I think the tan might be a bit more luxuries, similar to the 960 and some late model BMWs, but the black seems sportier. Personally I just prefer a very very dark interior, dark tinted windows, and dark interior. Speaking of which, I need to retint my windows...5/15%. ~Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielSFbay Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 BLACK, sorry fellas no offense but the tan/beige interior looks cheap compared to the black/grey combo.Yeah no offense taken, but you do realize that both black and tan colors are processed leather, but tan still looks natural. And black...well it looks processed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blown_volvo850r Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 The tan doesn't look cheap...that's stupid to say, honestly it looks more expensive and classy. It's just a different look than the black. I like black more, but the tan isn't cheap looking.~Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdracr Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 They tan looks pretty nice, but I still think the black interior looks better in general. Easier to keep clean too.. I would be constantly paranoid having light colored alcantra everywhere :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostjunkie Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 The tan doesn't look cheap...that's stupid to say, ~LeeIt was a personal opinion, that does not mean it was stupid,Now, someone not able to hook up their MBC that is stupid You catch my drift homes? That is the number one problem here, just because someone has a different opinion they are stupid.I will give you then benifit of the doubt though you're 18 right at the age when you know EVERYTHING!

ProjectT-5R Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 The tan look very good in black cars but so does black on black, as for the red and white I think they should have the black interior. I love the 1st gen V70 R interiors that had the black with silver alacantra.Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAydAy Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Well, Mine is black but story time here.....I was looking on eBay once and came across a nice clean white 850. I look at it and under closer inspection, its an 850R. Now what blows my mind is the interior - Its a sort of tan color, but I'm not sure if its the same as that all of yall have. It was so light, like a really bleached out tan but it definitely wasn't bleached out. It was a real light tan, really beautiful car. It was definitely an R, had the badging and everything was right and it was the leather/alacantra seats. The color was GORGEOUS, and it just was so befitting of the cars home (Was in Florida somewhere....). I wish I had the bookmark still, it totally blew my mind and I've NEVER seen another one like that.....-Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
