    About to order an S4! Need one more bit of input.

    Just about ready to order my S4. Probably either Sprint Blue or Ibis, 19" wheels, Nav, CF trim, Sport rear diff, B & O stereo.

    Just have to decide on interior. If it's Ibis, probably red/black. If Sprint, either silver/black or Alcantara. About the Alcantara, is it as durable and stain resistant as leather?

    Alcantara is basically microfiber, so it is easy to clean, but to be on the safe side, get the black alcantara. It'll keep your interior looking invisible (if you decide to tint) and when you go around the corners, it'll prevent you from laterally sliding around in your seat (well, the huge bolsters help with that too.)

    I'd go check out both interiors in person if you haven't already. Personally, I really can't stand the Alcantara, looked and felt tacky to me in person.

    Go for Sprint Blue, Ibis is getting popular fast! and the sprint is beautiful on this car! With the silver/black, I think it would be unique and very attractive

    Yeah, leaning that way. Not sure that the world needs another white car.

    Go with the Ibis White with red/black interior. Yeah....I know, I'm biased.
