So much want - contains V70R content

My R has the nordic blue interior.
I am not sure if I could live with the orange for much more than an hour or two, and my partner said that she would refuse to sit in it as the interior would clash with too many outfits.
The R is a great car if looked after. The manual is quicker than the auto.

Why would that make you a chav? Odd thing to say.
Look at the interior. Not an odd thing to say at allIt is an odd thing to say, how can a colour be chav? I think it was just a poor choice of word, you could have said horrid, hideous or tasteless, an interior hue does not make a car chav. Do you even know what chav is?

Its orange, as are many of them, as also are many ferraris etc. Are they chav too?

Yes, I think this colour would be chav in almost any car.It is an odd thing to say, how can a colour be chav? I think it was just a poor choice of word, you could have said horrid, hideous or tasteless, an interior hue does not make a car chav. Do you even know what chav is?
Chavs are known for their vulgar taste, or lack thereof. I think the interior colour is vulgar and tasteless, thus chav. As the word 'chav' is a colloquialism, it's meaning varies both geographically and demographically. In my location and demographic, my usage of the word would be appropriate.
Anyhow, this thread isn't on etymology, so let's just talk about the car..
Aaah! I posted this in the Obsession thread a couple of weeks back. I love that, absolutely love it, the combination of calm, slightly dull, unassuming resale grey and then BOOM! Hot lava interior.
I don't know quite what it is about it that I like so much but I can see how some might call it an acquired taste...

The tan looks fine in person - the exposure on these photos doesn't do it justice.
When I was at Volvo I ran a black V70R for a while with this interior in.
Easily the best road car seats that I have ever sat in, but they feel mounted slightly high for the taller driver. Sovereign hide sports seats in the same shape V70 or S60 are almost as good though, but probably rarer than an 'R.
It's a naturally dyed leather so will wear well if looked after, but is susceptible to staining.
