I'm looking at two preowned Acura TL's, both have white exteriors.
The prices are similar, but I can't make my mind up as to which interior color I prefer.
Can anyone post their experiences/opinions?

Thanks!

When they were writing up the paperwork on a WDP/Taupe (color combo I was set on), I sat in a WDP/Quartz...I told them to change the paperwork almost immediately. Been very happy ever since.

gray looks old in 2 years and is very boring after a while. go with the beige and white, its classy and the ladies will notice

tribefan1216

I definitely agree. I thought the grey looked terrible too, but a couple of my friends tried to talk me into it.

Ohhh-k... My TL-S two-tone interior is gorgeous... u guys r nuts for dissing on the grey.

But from the OP options, I guess tan will go better in a base TL

The tan looks like crap. I was getting ill just sitting in it. The grey is classy and will stay that way. Don't make a huge mistake.

My 2001 TL had the tan interior and it took a lot to keep clean. So now I have the 2006 WDP with black interior. Looks great and easy to keep clean. I couldn't be happier. Don't know about the grey.

Grey is not "terrible" - there are a lot of people here who probably like it a lot.

With White I'd go with Tan/Beige/Parchment or Black, personally. I do think that White/Tan is one of those "classic" color combo's.

However, keep in mind that the lighter color carpeting allows stains and wear to show more prominently. So if you've got a lot of traffic, spillage, can't take time to clean it, etc, then a darker color might be better for you.

dope!

hmm well i have n ssm wiht gray interior...and i love it! but right now i have a wdp loaner with the tan..and people notice it more..but gets dirty faster...but still nice..if i had to go back and do it again..i would go with tan but never let anyone ride with me in fear of them getting it dirty! friends have no regard for my car...so no one rides with me..lol..

I have the tan interior, and I think it looks classy with the wood trim... as they say girls dig it! but it's a pain to keep clean... i have a towel in the car along with meguiar's leather cleaner/conditioner in 1 bottle just to make sure I can wipe away any smudges i see....

Obviously I like the tan (camel or parchment) interior. But with white, I think the tan is a better look. Grey is better with RBP,KBP,SSM, AM or even NBP IMO.

i agree with the tan..my 02 is white with the tan interior, it is a pain to keep clean, especially the floormats, but it looks good and will be cooler in the summer

Tan and black are equally good imo...I test drove a gray and hated it...it didn't even look as nice as the leatherette (fake leather) in my old Audi.

I agree, what it comes down to I think is how well you'll be able to maintain the inside. If you think you can stay on top of things, go with tan, if not grey is also a fine choice. I have a WDP with grey interior and I love it.

Tan with the silver/aluminum interior trim looks awful to me. Not a good color combo at all.

Before '07 (I think) Parchment interior comes with wood trim, whereas Quartz & Black have Carbon Fiber trim. I love my Quartz interior, I could've had other TLs with Tan/wood, but I didn't like it.

this is all personal taste ofcourse....tan is brown, taupe is not brown, its more of a gray, then there is quartz which is the gray....i cant stand brown in my cars, so its taupe or gray or black....my type s has the taupe and i kind of like it....it wasnt my first choice, but couldnt find the two tone gray and black....

TeknoKing

I really like the brick color....I believe the 2009 TL will offer it.

I had parchment in my 00 TL... it was nice, but the leather was a pain to maintain...

The gray and black lools classy in my opinion, the tan looks gross and looks like for the old folks

Mine is WDP with the Taupe interior, identical to this car:




Not really a fan of 'beige' interiors but I like mine. The black/grey/aluminum accents break up the monotone of it, and the lighter interior makes the car look more modern and inviting.

On a WDP car grey is meh. I'd defeintely go for the beige option (either Taupe or Tan).

I think Taupe , Parchment, and Gray look cheap. Personally, I have gray and it looks a bit dated in my opinion, I think Camel and Black look the best.
