I suggest we call it Imebic wood.

That stands for IMitation EBony plastIC.

And the less you add it as an option on the dash, the wheel, the vents etc, the better!

I think the correct name is Blackwood and I think it looks incredibly awesome in my silver/ebony TL-S..

Hmm, I don't like the real stuff in Benzes either. (I think it's smoked popolar wood?)

How about naming it "Brunswood," as in the bowling equipment manufacturer Brunswick Heck, why didn't they just put fake granite formica in there, or perhaps mother-of-pearl?

How about Bleakwood, then?

Blackwood - how original - why not call the standard wood Brownwood?

I think that "bowling ball" is a classic description, and I wouldn't change it.

I don't think it looks that bad but it is a good way to differentiate it from the "other" fake wood trim.

Thumbs down

IMHO, the bowling ball trim is terrible. So much so that we will get the parchment interior. This is not a difficult choice anyway because the Houston heat is too intense for ebony interior anyway. With exterior colors limited by the parchment interior we will most likely go with the White Diamond Pearl.
