Default interior

Just wondering why we can't get White leather for the interior?

Had a 1992 Aqua convert with white seats and door panels, so thought we could get the same for the 2014.

At least ways; don't see why not.

Probably because demand would be so very low that it would be uneconomical to offer it as a choice... that's my guess anyway.

Would be a PITA to keep clean.

Almost traded in my '65 Silver Vert for a new '67 Marina Blue Vert with white interior. Changed my mind when my brother commented about keeping it clean as it would be a dd for me. Bought a new Olds 442 instead, Burgundy with Black interior. It was pretty thou.

I had several cars back in the day with white interiors, but I can see why they don't offer it. I do have one now that is close and I love it. This is not quite as stark white as the pics look but it's pretty close.

I'd certainly consider a white interior. My first car had a white interior and I really liked it.

My first car had a white interior. White interiors look good with the right exterior color. Not for everybody I know. But at least white is different and is normally a contrasting color.

The only way I could see a white would work in today's market is in some sort of off-white scheme or maybe just on a few trim pieces.

I have an Acura with an almost white interior. It's very good looking.

Doubt it will be offered. You could always have it done aftermarket.

Caravagio would be more than happy to help.

Plus the warming climate is making albino cows harder to find

My first car was a hand me down '79 Lincoln from my parents.. baby blue with white interior.. my buddies gave me HELL. Being made fun of one time I was told 4 albino cows gave their life for the 1/4 acre of white leather inside that land yacht.

I had a white interior in a '65 Dodge, and it indeed was a PITA to keep clean.

Every Sat. morning for two hours, I worked on that interior. Admittedly I am **** about my cars, but after two years of that, I replaced the car with one that had a much easier interior to keep up with.

Who would want this 80's/90's interior in modern Corvette?
