Want to hear something that'll make you laugh even more? Here in the US, I was in a dealership over the weekend where I heard a couple driving a TSX and Accord contemplating upgrading to a TLX. The guy wanted Fathom Blue, but was ticked there was no black interior. He was asking why they wouldn't put a black interior as an option for the blue exterior. I just said "because they're Acura".

I really don't get it at all. it's not even called Fathom Blue in Canada. Called "obsidian blue".

I would not have ordered my blue one if it didn't come with black interior. It seems Canada is getting a much better option and features in the TLX all around

I think it's just different for different people. I don't think I'd consider the blue one, but if I did, I think I'd rather have a lighter interior for it like the graystone. The Basque Red color only comes with parchment interior, from what I recall, but that's the color that works best with it in my opinion. I'm just glad I can get ebony with white and ebony with black, as one of those will more than likely be what I'm going to be ending up with.

you can get red on black in canada as well lol

Making the situation even stranger, Fathom Blue Pearl in the US and Obsidian Blue Pearl in Canada. Cannot tell from the web sites if they are the same.

I checked in ISIS and they both have the same paint code (B-588P), so they are the same color, but have a different name.

It is really bizarre that Acura Canada and Acura USA cannot seem to synch their vehicles...I would think that this would make the production costs even more effective.

Never could understand why any color interior is not available with any color exterior.

I agree! We should be able to order the combo we want, at least

Thanks Ostrich! Once I actually get the car, I'll be happy to post more pictures. I just flew into Calgary last month on the way to Banff National Park. You are so lucky to live that close to that incredibly beautiful park (that's where my avatar was taken).

this car is too conservative for me, if they made it look more like a 2010 then I would be happy to upgrade, but will look at CTS models instead.

Black is not a color - it is a commitment.

Okay, enjoy.

I've always found white the easiest to maintain. Silver and beige disguise dirt better but white is not as bad as dark colours, hides scratches and dings best, easiest to retouch. Biggest issue is non matching bumpers on Pearl whites, Odysseys are terrible but even Lexuses are bad. Its a result of how the paint adheres to plastic as opposed to metal. White whites are not a problem so I am hoping bwp on the TLX is OK. People up north say sometimes you can't see white cars in the snow....

I have a white (Starfire Pearl) GS-350 and yes, you could see the difference, same with the 4G I had... it's odd that color saturation is different from plastic to metal
