I have always loved a bordello red interior. 

Awesome!

Nice.

The interior in our ’75 Pontiac had a very similar look–all red, top to bottom, minus a few “wood” accents.

Digging the ashtray in the back of the driver's seat. This is a fox body, right?

I once got to sit in a Lamborghini LM002 that had the most red interior I have ever seen. Even a red leather wrapped dash and center console. It was nuts.

I'm the opposite! Have always hated the "everything red" interiors!

It's like those of us who wore bell bottom jeans in the 60's/70's and all clothing fads that return. IF you wore them the first time, you can't wear them the second time.

I lived through the 80's awful interiors and I'm not going back......

And it wasn’t just red. My blue ’82 Accord had an all-blue interior. My brother’s white 200SX had an all-blue interior, too. It’s just how things rolled.

And I remember first reading that phrase in MoPar Action back in the '80s.

I've learned to embrace things that are silly and/or outlandish as I find that there are things far more important to dislike.

I say I'll never go back but if I had the money I'd get the Civic Type R that has a bright red veloury type interior.....

I used to dislike red interiors.  Too garish, too loud,  just give me a black or grey interior.

 

Then I bought my Falcon

Every time I got in, it was like sliding into a booth at my favorite old school Chinese restaurant.  It didn't just grow on me, it was an instant change in thinking for me. Interiors can be fun and vibrant and not just a collection of shadows.  

 

I now judge exterior colors primarily by what Interior colors can be matched to them. Blues! Greens! Patterns! Anything but a drab black Interior.

Years ago, I was playing with Porsche’s online Configurator. I was doing a Carrera.

At least at the time, black paint was free. So was the blue interior. It would have looked so rad IRL.
