Would love opinions from any/all of you Acura TL officiandos. Looking to purchase TL within 2 months. Leaning towards black exterior, ebony interior & adding wood trim - wheel, knob, front & rear console. Worth the expense or should I stick with standard ebony trim? Thanks! |

Well . . . black looks nice . . . for about 5 minutes after you wash it . . . for me, I picked the silver with Quartz Interior. I live in Southern California so the heat reflection was a big issue for me. Dark cars just get hotter and it's already hot enough down here. My favorite interior colors are the parchment, but that will get super dirty within a week, and the camel, which is only offered with the black and red. Since I wanted white or silver because of the heat issue, that just left the quartz interior. I do like the faux burl wood trim better than the faux graphite trim though. Black on black will look sharp, if you can stay on top of keeping it clean. I've always found that lighter colors actually don't show the dirt as much as dark colors.

Replying to: horselover (Aug 20, 2006 5:19 am) The color that peaks my interest for 07 is the Carbon Bronze Pearl. Personally, I think you should stick with the Ebony trim without the faux wood.

Replying to: horselover (Aug 20, 2006 5:19 am) I'm not a big fan of lighter-hued woods in cars (e.g. compare the interior of a Lexus SC430 or Caddy XLR with light vs. dark wood) a la the faux walnut in the TL. A darker-hued wood though, imo, looks great! So, as far as the exterior, as has been mentioned several time if you go with the black exterior and a non-shiny car will make you sad, be prepared for many washings! And definately investigate Zaino products...! |

Replying to: jdelabre (Dec 27, 2006 2:15 pm) After going and looking at the car and seeing many color combinations, I'm sure that if I chose the TL-S, I'd have to go with the Moroccan Red Pearl. It doesn't look like much on Acura's website, but it's really something in person. Moroccan Red Pearl on Black/Silver would be my choice.

I have an 06 Anthracite w/Quartz interior. I don't like black interiors (I'm in Atlanta) in the South, and I thought the camel was boring. I owned a silver Accord before this car so the silver exterior was out (plus there are WAY too many silver TLs in my area). Blue was a close second but I was a little concerned about blue's resale acceptance. The anthracite just looked right. Dark, but not too dark. But if they had the carbon bronze last year like they have this year, I definitely would have gone with that. What a great, unique color. |
