'Poo brown' leather

[Monumental]

Well, it's company car replacement time. I'm going for another Leon (fancied a Golf but the equivalent spec is £32k )
Was telling the other half what I had ordered last night. Leon = happy. 'Furia Grey' paint = indifferent. Tan/Black leather = a proper huff, not speaking to me and a promise that it will mean using the Roadster a lot more (which is fine by me!). This is a little suprising as her interest in cars is absolutely zero.

Now she has started a Facebook campaign to persuade me to go for a plain black/black colour scheme was has attracted a small amount of female support.

To be honest I really like the poo brown and the way it lifts what would otherwise be a totally black interior.

Am I wrong on this one?

I like it, but then I like brown. I reckon red would look quite good with the outside colour though.

Anything but resale grey and black leather

[Benbay001]

I like it. Maybe it doesnt help if you describe it to her as "poo brown"?

'Poo brown' was her phrase, not mine (or Seat's )

Get rid of the poo brown & change it for red & black leather.

[AndySpecD]

I'd agree with your other half - the brown leather isn't great. Grey/black would be better imo

I think in this case the brown works quite well, atleast in the picture it does.

Go for it.

Red and black would be better, but that is a bit more of a sporty look, and I'm assuming this won't be a Cupra. The brown is not very nice though, but it's a company hack, so who cares?

looks fine to me - far more interesting than black all over. It isnt as if the whole interior is brown.

It's your car. do what YOU like.

Not to mention the fact that as a company car, resale is of no importance at all.

I don't think it works in a Leon.

That's a bit harsh I'd say, it doesn't look bad although wouldn't be my first choice.

This is what I was thinking you were going to come up with-

Had similar internal/external combo in an A3 once - looks very good.

Poo brown winning, but the haters are catching up

Glad to see the support for the brown, which makes me happier about ordering it. I suppose that her never speaking to me again is not entirely a bad thing

[Six Fiend]

Dare to be different and go for it, I like the combo

[D1bram]

Love brown leather personally, in cars or on furniture. Wife hates it though.

Think it's a bit of a man choice tbh, it's got that whole drawing room and smoking jacket feel to it.

What is it with Porsche and that horrendous colour.

[kambites]

Interior colour is quite nice.

Exterior colour is awful.

That's the conclusion I'm coming to; women all hate it, men mostly like it. Odd.

It's a man's colour as demonstrated by this rather nice ford F-150 Harley Davidson Edition
