Replying to: ceric (Jul 22, 2009 9:43 am) As to wood grain trim, in some other country, CX9 has no wood grain trim even for GT. Yeah is does. The GT models have the wood grain look trim on the doors and center console. It is not real wood. Infact, most mfgrs dont use real wood.

Replying to: ceric (Aug 26, 2009 11:41 pm) wood grain-look trim Also known as "plood" - plastic wood. I've heard that the better stuff is real wood that's been impregnated with plastic. Real wood would dry out, crack and not hold up well in a car interior. And it would splinter and be nasty in a car wreck.
