Nice leather interiors...

While surfing around I found this page which has some pics of BMW interiors w/ awesome leather colors. My favorites are the cinnamon, Blue, and red interiors. I'd love to have a NHB TSX with a Cinnamon leather interior.

I'm hoping that Acura offers that option in the future as well. IIRC a similar color is currently available on the euro Accords. It would also look great in combination with the gray, white, or either of the silver exteriors...

I'd have been happy with Milano Red on Ebony.

Cinnamon or Natural Brown are probably one of the best looking and practical interiors on the market. The thing I don't like about the tan interior of the TSX is that the floor would get dirty so fast.
Tan seats + black carpet = easy to maintain and looks great.

there is a difference between European leather interiors and Japanese

I read somewhere that there is a difference between European leather interiors and Japanese. The Japanese use leathers that have been sort of painted and are not tanned. From what I was lead to believe the European way of doing it is more expensive but yields leather that wears better and is softer. I am also pretty sure that the Japanese way of doing it severely limits the color choices as well.

Me too, that would be a good combination and Canadians are lucky get the Premium White with ebony leather.

But a Milano Red w/ Parchment and that ugly fake wood trim =

Most all leather is dyed to get the color. The quality differences come from which part the leather comes from. There's top grain, nubuck, and split. In addition, different finished are applied to the top (i.e. urethane, etc.).

Is that a center headrest in the back

Looking at the picture it looks like a center headrest. i can't find a picture of the rear of the Euro Accord to confirm but I know that the TSX doesnt have one.
