Styling Which interior ivory or black
I think only you can make this decision. Buy what you think looks best. Ivory will of course get dirtier quicker. People will simply vote for what they think looks best in their opinion.

If you are getting a white car, BNW or Funk White then Ivory interior a must.
Most other colours look better with Black.

My gf and I chose the ívory together with the red coloir. It's just fab =)
I went and had a rummage at the local dealers and while I agree the white makes the interior much brighter and looks great, I just feel the black is more contemporary and will not age as much. So black ambience it is!
cheers for all the replies

I love the Ivory just because its different from other cars. But I played safe and went with Black.... So are we voting on what we have or what looks good? (Just to be awkward)

I have gone for Ivory ..because i like it..and it looks different than standard Black [every other car]..
I prefer ivory, we have it in our car, however I do think that it looks a bit like dirty white, rather than ivory with a white dash
I think one should vote for what is their preference.
I really do like the white I am simply nervous about it going yellowy with age and dirt.
Also with the BNW it then has 3 colours on the dash.
Also I am playing it safe and am worried that a white interior is a bit of a passing fad!

I'd have to say black for the keeping clean issue, as the seats seem to mark up very easily in the lounge, so you'll have enough to do cleaning them really.

I will sound like an annoying git by saying that but....... both get equally dirty, it is just that dirt is more easily spotted on Ivory. Sorry.
The main factor that made me choose Ivory is the light that it procures, and by association the idea of space. A black interior always seems cramped compared to a bright one.
Ivory and glassroof of the Lounge (even better with Sunroof) and you have a winner!
Also I'd say that the 500 being a fun car it makes sense to have a less common interior, black is fine in a Merco* but Ivory is by far best in a 500 (imo anyway
)*and I couldn't imagine a fine Merco in ivory either!

Yeah but I'd say a lot more than half of the cars on the road are ivory.Have you seen the poll above? It's 16 V 11 in favour of black.
FWIW I have been calling dealers up asking about getting a car with leather.
Interestingly dealers said that 80% of their sales were with the ivory ambience and all dealer ordered cars come with the ivory.
Guess I am lucky to have found a black ambience.

I haver the Ivory, don't be scared or getting it muckey, a quicj wipe over with LTT leather cleaner every 4 weeks or so id enough to keep it in top notch condition.
If you want a white car and the ivory then upgrade to funk white .... the ivory is almost the same colour as the FW and it looks great!

Thanks for info... Fiat dealer in Sydney has tried his best to talk me out of getting Ivory interior... in fact they don't even have it as an option here... I have put an order in for a 500C with ivory interior and was told I have to wait for a month for them to tell me whether they will build it or not...
