Wood grain only?
I don't see any options to get an interior without the plastic wood grain. Am I missing it, or are all TLX owners stuck with it?

I think it looks particularly rich with Ebony.
I had aluminum trim in my Audi. Not sure it was any better (or worse) than wood veneer.

Wood look vs aluminum look (fake or real) appears to a trend with the latter becoming more popular, possibly because it is cheaper to produce. It's like pant worn half way down your ass... may be popular but that does not make it better. Providing an alternative moves Acura away from its business model (provide an overall good product with limited options which get the car into your hands faster).

Yeah...aluminum tripm is cheaper. It's thin....easy to stamp. Wood (even veneer) has to be cured, stained, some sort of protective coating put on it (which is the "shine" you see). It has to be thinkc enough that it doesn't splinter (especially around the edges) and strong enough to withstand heat, cold, hunidty, extreme dryness. Wood's a more expensive trim over aluminum, and probably even carbon fiber.

I'm coming from a 2007 type-S, and I absolutely loved the interior. So I am a biased party here.
It is hard to get away from the feeling that I'm making a huge step down even considering a TLX. I can totally see why they would want to limit the amount of variance in their build process, but the one size fits all approach is disappointing.

The TLX only features the 'plastic' wood grain, no real wood is available. However, a significant interior commission is the lack of a fo-metal/carbon-fiber trim option. TLX is supposed to be very sporty and compete with the BMW 3-Series. I don't sportiness in fake wood, and hidden exhaust pipes.

I am going to use "mactac paper" on mine....probably a nice "flower" pattern to match my personality *lol*
IN all seriousness, I wish there was a way to have the option of something else but they are likely keeping that for teh Type S model (lol)
