Ron Bouchard's Acura of Auburn. I bought mine there. The Framingham store didn't have what I wanted, and I live in Auburn.
It is only about 30 mimutes up the Pike from Framingham. Get off the Auburn Rte 12 exit and go for like 1 mile and it is on the left.

Ebony interior w/ regular wood...just saw it
There were four new ones there. Two WDP (one regular one type-S), one silver type-S and one regular Anthracite (NOT as good as Laguna!!!)
Anyway, they had snow
on them!!! But, the Anthracite one had ebony and regular wood trim. It came off the truck that way. So, you tell me what the heck is going on? I saw it, and there was still plastic all over the car. Not one of them has been sold yet. And, AND!!! There were 26, yes 26 regular 01s there for sale! Damn! They had every color too.

All non-S ebony interiors have the regular colored wood. The ebony wood is for the Type S ebony interior only. I owned an Anthracite before I traded in it on for my Black on Black TLS and having driven in both cars I can say that the regular wood looks far better. I know there are quite a few in here that like the ebony wood, I have tried REALLY hard to like it (I don’t have a choice ;-) but it is f***ing ugly. I’m going to bet Acura will change this for the next model year or at least offer the option to do so.

I don't know if they will change the ebony wood. I used to hate it, but when I saw it in person it wasn't so bad, and now I love it. Everyone who has seen my car has had nothing but positive comments for the black trim. I think it is something that will grow in popularity.
Compared to my '00 TL, I think it looks better than the fake wood in it. The brown fake wood looks very fake and cheap. I saw the same fake wood that looked just as good in my dad's Mitsubishi Galant! The "bowling ball" trim doesn't look like you are trying to copy anything, so it doesn't look like a cheap ripoff.

I had the regular wood trim in my '99 3.2TL and I too like the ebony wood trim better. It is much more subtle and DEFINITELY different from any other "woodish" style trims out there. A real eye catcher those who have seen it go W
