Need more Anthracite pics

Can't decide between Anthracite/Ebony or Anthracite/Quartz.

Can all of you Anthracite owners out there post some pics of your exteriors and interiors please.

Thanks!

I have Ebony.

A vote for Ebony.

Will take pics over Thanksgiving weekend.

Ebony makes that interior look modern and it is easy to keep clean.

And I had gray interiors for the past 16 years also!

I like the two-toned effect of the Quartz. IMHO the Ebony is very modern and sporty, but too dark and monotone for me. I was not convenced which looks best until I saw them side by side on the new TL. I suggest finding a dealer where you can do this. It is much better than looking at photos.

I went w/ Anthracite/Quartz. The car has not yet arrived, but it's the color I test drove & I liked the combo. The sales manager had a black/ebony that I looked at.

IMHO, the ebony interior looks slick but it's too dark, would be too hot, & for some reason I just feel it looks too, ummm maybe 70's-ish?? (no idea why, that's just what came to mind - maybe too much black on the interior)

The Quartz gave a nice contrast with the dash.

I have the anthracite/Ebony, I origianlly was going with the quartz but I thought it was just to light of a grey and would look crappy after 4- 5 years.

I agree. Quartz to me is too light of a grey, looks washed out to me. I've never liked grey on a luxury car (even BWM/MB.)

I think the best way is for you to go to the dealer and see the colors.

Anthracite and Camel!!!

Had mine over 3 weeks now and I get loads of comments on the color and contrast.

Your making the payments though; so what I like doesn't mean crap!!

ditto
Only in person can you determine the right choice. Be sure to look at it from outside in, with the door open and sitting in the back. I ruled out the camel and parchment when I sat in the back. Too strong an effect there for me.

I have a Anthracite with Ebony and here is a link to my online album with some pictures of exterior and interior. The Ebony interior looks a little lighter in the pictures. So, best way would be to compare them at a dealership.

Link to TL pictures

I personally like Ebony interior and have received lots of complements for this combination. It makes the interior look more sporty and upscale (since it kind of looks like BMW interior color).

Very nice!

Does anyone have pictures of the Anthracite with a full body kit?

Yes, I'd like to see full body kit pics too. My anthracite/ebony was built today and should be in mid-December. It's has the ASPEC high performance package. I've never actually seen one exactly like that.
