2015 Rogue Carpet Mat Color?

[andygold]

Was down at the dealership. They just got in a Cayenne Red SL with Almond interior. I noticed the 4 carpet mats were charcoal and not almond, but the 2 carpeted mats, held in place with velcro on the Divide-N-Hide, were almond just like the D-n-H carpet.

The dealer says that they are no longer going to be receiving almond floor mats in almond cars. Anyone else either hear this or experience this?

It's probably a good idea in a way to have charcoal colored mats as almond would get dirty real quickly, but I thought the idea of the carpet mats was to be somewhat disposable, while protecting the original OEM carpet.

As an asides...It kind of reminds me of the clear, plastic, bubble-textured covers my grandparents had on the seats of their cars back in the '60s and '70s. Yes they protected the seats but for the entire time you owned the vehicle, you were sitting on non-breathing, sweaty plastic. Then when you sold the car, you took the covers off and had pristine seats. I think if it was me I'd rather enjoy the seats today, rather than having the next owner enjoy what looked like brand new upholstery. So, getting back to the floor mats, I wonder if almond for more matched look, but charcoal for not having to worry about how they look...

i bought my car about 12 days ago. cayenne red with almond interior as well. the mats were charcoal as well. so it might be true. well I would prefer the charcoal/dark mats anyways. the almond would've gotten dirty or turn to charcoal color pretty fast.

i saw one here in texas too. However i confess that the best way or the correct way to do it will be to put the whole floor charcoal. Like Maxima's and i believe that Altima's too.

That tan carpet is only reason that make choose the charcoal interior. I know that tan looks super luxurious but give it 6 moths or the first rain season and you will see how that luxurious interior becomes your worse nightmare. Specially if you have kids.

At least know the are going smart putting charcoal carpets.

Just got a '15 SV Red with Almond. They said they didn't have any almond carpet mats in stock when I picked up the Rogue, only charcoal. My dealer said they would call me when they're available, but I just got WeatherTech Digital mats anyway. This makes me wonder now if they switched to charcoal too...
