That parchment interior doesn't look that much lighter than my Greystone. Looks good!

Thanks for the clarification. My dealer had it listed as Parchment.

I have the same color combination (Bellanova White Pearl _ Seacoast).

I was very nervous about it and would not have bought it if I'd had another choice.

So...not much choice.

I was very nervous because I'm not a big car polisher and cleaner. :-)

But I have to say that it has worked out very well so far.

Cleans up very easily at a modern car wash, and there's no indigo or other dye transfer anywhere.

The biggest problem for me is trying to get out of the car in a tight spot and scuffing the lower parts of the trim with my shoes.

The sort of off color taupe dash cover irritated me, and the contrast between it and the ebony leather of the steering wheel put me off.

Again, though, you just sort of get used to it.

This is the very first time in a long time that my Honda has not had ebony leather throughout.

I actually like the color combination, and sought it out when shopping for the RLX. I had the same combination in my 2012 TL Tech.

It's only been a few days with the RLX, but even with my kids (8 & 10 years old) I was able to keep the interior of the TL pretty clean, and so I don't expect any problems doing the same with the RLX.

However, I do wish the RLX had black seat belts as an option similar to that of the TL. I had changed out the seat belts in the TL from parchment to black, and it really looked nice. The darker seat belt is able to hide the dirt, because trying to keep the seat belts clean was the hardest for me.

With full disclosure, I must admit I also drive a 2000 Saturn LS2 as my kick around car. When I have to haul my kids and their friends somewhere like a birthday party or something like that I usually use the Saturn.

If we're going out to eat, church, or visit friends then of the course the kids ride in the RLX.

I havve had my seacoast driver seat redyed because of dye transfer - I even had the Xzylon treatment added to the seats to help protect them when I bought it.

What kind of clothing and/or dyes caused a problem, if you have time to answer?

Just had to post a few other pictures. Every time I look at my car I must admit that I thank God for granting me the opportunity to own this Acura RLX.

Beautiful car!


I don't know what told me it was TExas, the Ford F150 or those fences. I have lots of family in Houston and Dallas, and all of their fences are that design and that brown color. Almost like a state requirement it seems

I'm not usually a fan of light colored interiors, but it works really well with the white paint.

Great looking car. Looks just like the one in my driveway

I told my wife that I can see pedestrians/other drivers do double-takes when I'm driving and she initially said it was all in between my ears. I've had the car a little over a week and twice she has come to tell me she saw people walking by the house literally stop and stare at it in my driveway.

I don't see many TLX's to be honest, but lots of TL's now. I've noticed Acura drivers tend to rubber neck a bit - but possibly because they appreciate the general rarity of the RLX. I had a 4G TL with custom wheels and dark tint follow me on the highway coming home today which was a bit awkward

I have only seen one RLX, one ILX, and about 5-7 TLX's. But for the life of me I can't figure out why I have suddenly seen, more than I can count, 3G & 4G TL's. Those two cars appear to be everywhere.
