WDP w/Parchment or Anthracite w/Camel?

These are the 2 color combos I have it narrowed down to if I do decide to purchase the TL. Which color combo looks the best in your opinion?

Porsche Boxter and BMW 7-Series feature gunmetal (anthracite) with natural leather (camel) interiors in their brochures and online marketing. It has been a staple combo of the German auto universe since the 1950's for a sophisticated and mature driver, such as the 40 year old demographic of the TL owner. BJ

Maybe we should allow the German auto universe to retain its tradition, and realize that our Honda automobile is no BMW or Porsche. I do have to agree with BJ on one thing (which pains me), the age difference is certainly an issue as no one near my age would consider getting one of the colors that comes with the wood

KHill,

Here's another look for you. Parchment, looks like creamed coffee, not like someone with a horrible tan.

Only hurting the feelings of those who made a drastic interior color selection mistake. For the rest of us, we feel a-o.k. about the comments.

I happen to like the Anthracite/Camel combo. I am getting rid on my 02 TL-S as soon as the 05s start rolling in. Ive got my choice narrowed to anthracite/camel or quartz. I have SSM/ebony now and I am just tired of the boring look of it. I really like quartz but I think that the camel is more sophisticated. its going to be a tough choice. and as far as the demographics go...I am 23. sorry to skew the 40 year old mentioned above.

Again you hurt my feelings. Some of us are sensitive. Mistake? Remember, this is what your non-navi dash looks like:

It's November 22, 1963 every day in your TL, bub.

If you two youngin's wisely choose the most classy of the interiors, I can guarantee you both board positions within Team Camel. Not only do the jobs pay well, but just you wait and see what happens with the lassie's when you hand out your Team Camel VP business cards at dinner parties. Vrooooom.

No contest - WDP/Parchment

KHill - Definitely go with the WDP/Parchment. Not only am I partial to WDP/Parchment (it's what I drive), I've noticed a couple of things:

a) The WDP is NOT appliance-white and does not look like all the other white cars on the road
b) The darker colored TLs look smaller - pay attention next time you see one - and look like TSXs at first glance
c) White is easier to maintain, color-match, and looks better longer.
d) WDP with Parchment with the faux wood and matching burl shifter is a classy look - leather looks more natural than camel
e) lighter car + lighter interior = cooler interior temps
f) lighter interior allows the driver to be seen better by all those turned heads...most important thing of all!!

convinced yet??

White car = grandma, welcome to Florida.

Parchment interior = dirty easily.

Anthracite car = cool, hip person whose bored of silver.

Camel interior = sophisticated, wealthy person.

I don't have sex with my interior. Dirty women are fun now and then, but a filthy, dark, black, aging interior is unattractive.

The Ebony interior is so ugly it can even make Quartz look good.

Anthracite = trendy and ont he verge of being payed out as every other car on the road from a neon to a benz is this color (even though I like it)

Camel interior = Grandma way more than the WDP does...who other than an older person would want fake wood in a Honda?

Probably the same type of person that would add a silly 10 HP Injen Intake, non-functional Decklid Spoiler, and Maya STM Hyper Black wheels.

GFY!
