My red interior really makes me smile on a grey, rainy day. Those days the inside is so bright and cheery. Also its easy to see if I left my phone on the seat. The only downside I can think of to the red interior is that it does not go with every color exterior.

I would say the red is likely worse off when it comes to resale.

My wanna-be dyslexic eyes first read "bright and CHEESY" Doesn't go with every exterior color? So my yellow w/red interior is going to be a bad thing? That's why I ordered it that way. BECAUSE I COULD! Yellow w/red and Blue w/red are awesome! Dare to be different. That's why I love the red interior.

You can just paint your mothership any color (other than red) you like, doo doo doo doo......

It's a clown car. That's why I went with the red interior. It does make it less ho-hum. Classy, the smart will never be. There's a reason it's not wearing MB badges.

Sound off...what do you think?
White/Silver with Red Interior is EXACTLY what i want....if YOU don't want it, I'LL GLADLY TAKE IT OFF YOUR HANDS!!!

So that means the yellow with red interior(like mine) is double-collectible? Remember it's only valuable if somebody wants it. I like mine.
