S5 owners, Interior colors vs. exterior colors

There has been a thread asking for profile of exterior colors. But the factory brochure doesn't list interior color choices per each exterior color. It seems that the predominate S5 interior color is black, but some come in blue.

I believe all Black and Red S5's have black interior. But, I'm betting both colors were available for the Blue, White, and Silver S5's.

I'm especially curious if there are '89 White Vert's with black interior out there.

If you post a response, please mention what model you have. i.e., GXL, GTU, Vert T2.

Thanks for your inpute.

S5 with red interior??

I thought that was only a S4 thing.

My bad. Is there any way to go back and adjust your poll set up?

I left out Black and Red S5's...

as I was sure all of them have Black interiors. However, seeing one response of a Silver one with Red interior, there might be some Black ones with Red interior also.

I have also seen white '89 Turbos with blue interior, BTW.

The maroon interior is VERY rare on the '89-91 cars - I've only seen one car with it, and it was the silver/champagne color. The car was a total POS - the interior reeked like you have no idea .

Another exterior color that's often overlooked is Midnight Blue - there's a guy here in town with a midnight blue '91 Turbo with black interior - car is GORGEOUS. The midnight blue color is pretty rare - wish there were more of 'em on the road!

Anything to back this up? I've seen the Midnight Blue TII up close and personal, and it hasn't been colorchanged. I looked in all of your major places to not spray a car when colorchanging, and it definitely came from the factory that color.
