Anyway, these are strictly opinions, and right or wrong they are in my head.
One other factor that has always bothered me is how hot dark cars get inside, so the black is always going to be a no go for me, even if it does look sexy as hell.

Seriously, though. Don't worry about the cars getting hot. For some reason unknown to me, the leather does not get hot to the touch, even in hours of direct sunlight. I seem to recall someone here posting something about modern treatments done to leather to prevent it from absorbing a lot of heat. But for whatever reason, I've had my car sitting in 95 degree weather, under direct sunlight for several hours, only to find my seats mildly warm to the touch and the internal temperature of the car about the same. Then again, I did tint my windows but only at 35% and the front one wasn't done.
