Odd request since it looks like all of our interiors; but then I noticed you're not from around these parts.

if you google TL interiors; you'll get the feel for TL's interiors

I really don't find the request odd. Since I can find pics of red TL-S on google too, and black ILX pics on google too, and people post exterior pics .

I like seeing quality of the inteiror and how it has been kept up.

But I am odd, as I am an American who owns a Wagon.

i meant odd in a sense that you dont know what it looks like...
coming from the TSX wagon, rightfully so.

it's a used vehicle, there will be some interior scuffs, but if the OP did his due diligence and spotting the exterior of the car, one could venture to say that his interior is in pretty good shape.

so, yes...the question is odd. lol

and if not in good shape; probably wouldnt have bought the car....just saying.

I'll predict that he shows pictures; and it'll be just like every other 3rd gen TL in good to great condition.

I have been called a lot worse than "odd" in my life, so I will take it


People put exterior shots, which look the same as other TLs as well, so I didn't think looking at some interior shots was a big deal.

THus I will choose to respectfully disagree with you.

Thank you for the interior pics. I like the embossed S in the headrest and the steering wheel bottom. Is there any S on the instrument cluster?

Also the accordian like storage compartment next to Ebrake is a nice touch.

I thnk the lighter colored interior goes well with your red, much better than a black interior/red combom imho


Enjoy the car in good health.

At first i didn't like the cream/tan interior. but the more i drive it, im really loving the interior color. The cluster doesn't have S emblem i wish it does actually. The cluster have red accent lighting and red paint around the tachometer. Thank you I do really enjoy driving it.

I have a red/tan sports car. Its very classic. Personaly aside from that, I don't like tan interior. My last car (that I replaced the TSX with), was white/cream, and it was aweful. I htink having a contrast is good. So this time I wnated my DD to have black interior. Which resulted me in being stuck with horrendous ugly outside color, unlike yours.

Can't win them all. I figured I spend so much time INSIDE the car (28K miles a year), that I rather have a right inteiror and wrong interior.

Wow, that TL is stunning! So clean, you're lucky to have such a good example.

And obviously that 370Z Nismo is awesome, must be a blast to drive.

From other forums I visit, they'll flame you for posting up stock car pictures and reply with "we already know what it looks like"

here, things are different

staff are more strict and people here actually want to see want to see what a stock car looks like, i dont know why

personally i'm more of the dick that thinks we already know what a stock car looks like

nice rides OP

Thanks, really loving the MPR. Nah, there's another member here with very low miles MRP/ebony interior. The 370z is a fun to drive specially on canyon roads lol.
