Does it bother anyone else that even with the Ebony interior color, the TLX's ceiling and pillar are still grey and not black. Most luxury car brands have black as a standard color for its pillars and ceiling right?

I don't get too worked up about the color of the pillars and headliner in my black TLX. I think it's probably more prevalent than you think. My 08 CTS was all black but it also had the cream/tan colored pillars and headliner.

I don't know what the other "upscale" cars have in them, but I don't mind having a little break from all the black. It could also have something to do with eye fatigue or some other type of study determining reason.

Most japanese car brands with black interior still have lighter colored roofs. I believe maybe bmw and merc do all black but youll be surpsrised to see most cars do lighter roofs. Feels more open and bigger inside

Lighter definitely more open feeling--I have black as the upgrade on an F-Sport NX and it is more closed-in feeling. Black does seem to improve interior glare in the summer. Agreed most Japanese brands keep a lighter roof trim.

I agree... my wife also has the NX F-sport with red/black interior. Black feels more confining and it get dirty easier. My wife has a lint roller to remove all the stuff she see in the black liner.

Yep, don't get a white terry towel near the black pillars.

Acura should focus on better colors, and black as an interior option for all exterior colors.

Where the hell is my candy apple red.

2016 Accord Coupe has Black headliner and pillars. Could be coming to TLX at the MMR.

The ILX A-Spec has black pillars and headliner.
Hopefullly we will see the same A-Spec trim with the MMC. Red instrumental cluster gauges will be a nice add on as well.

Infiniti was putting black pillars and ceiling in their Sport models, my M37S had is by default. My Audi A6 it was an option that I ordered. I believe the reluctance is that black pillars and ceiling make the interior feel smaller, but I don't care I wants it.

Rae Rad

I had the same issue with the ILX A-Spec. I always kept a lint roller for the headliner and suede seats.

buy some automotive fabric dye and go to town

For the price of the TLX, I'm happy that they offer as many interior color options as they do rather than the typical parchment/ebony choice. I wouldn't mind having the option to get the black trim or other "custom" enhancements but acura is never going to do that unless it's the NSX.

Just strange to me that Honda offers black headliner as part of its black interior option in models such as the Accord 16' Sport but not the TLX

I think that most auto makers only have black headliners in its sport or ultra luxury models (or as an option) - Maybe if the TLX has an Aspec trim, it'll get the black headliner too? I believe that the ILX's with A-Spec package has a black headliner, and other luxury models (CTS, Genesis, X3, X5, 3, 4, and 5 Series, etc) don't have it as standard on black interior cars, although many (at least the Germans) have it as an option as far as I know.

That might be the case. My wife's Lexus F-Sport with black headliner went in for service and the base NX200t loaner car we drove had black leather interior with a grey headliner.

Honestly, I don't mind and like the two tone look.

it comes down to volume and profit, Acura only sells 10% of the cars Honda does. Where something may be profitable for honda it may not be for Acura due to lower sales.

Sam Axe

Black headliner is used in the '16 Accord Coupe also- which is a low volume vehicle, on par with TLX sales or fewer.
