Ordered Osmium Grey / 19" Wheels / Lava on my D4 FE last week... now wondering if I've made the right decision having spotted line-up pics online...
The lava goes further up the interior than I remember, too...
Colour regret?
I ordered the lava orange too, with Bright Silver as exterior colour.
I think the lava will look great.

The Lava is IMHO very much a Marmite option. I am sure people will love it or hate it. I posted in another thread a long time ago now that I didn’t like it personally, and posted some pics to show how orange it really was. Not a nice dullish red which some Volvo advertising appears to show. I started off with the Crystal White but switched to Bursting Blue to get an earlier delivery. Both look really good I think as does the Fusion Red and the Osmium Grey. Lava would not look good with the Blue or the Red of course. I am very happy with the look of the Charcoal carpets and while they may be made of the same material as the Lava (?), IMHO again, they make a better looking quality trim to the interior.

It is indeed. I have seen it in the flesh at Volvo's showroom in Stockholm, and it looked good but the mats were suffering already.pjm007 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 9:00 pm The Lava is IMHO very much a Marmite option.

Lava isn't actually configurable with red or blue, so if I opt for red, my decision is made. I felt the Grey looked good, but lacked 'pop' in comparison to the more contrasting combinations.

Purely personal, but I would go for the external colour I like first, and then take the consequence on carpet choice.

I have seen it and it looks fantastic. I think all of the colours look great. Have seem black, grey, red and white.
