People really like the flaxen color? I can't imagine it sells very well.

I'm personally a huge fan. It's the whole reason I got the car.

Here's an official photo of that trim by the way:

I like this trim and the bamboo. Hard to pick.

Our 2017 ES 300h and 2017 RX 450h have the parchment and expresso trim with the bamboo. Don't think I could ever go back to a black dash and door panels.

I'm with you. Black interior for me. Also no fan of any wood in a car interior.

We have the Flaxen. I like it now. A bit worried about how it will look five years on but I was tired of gray and black interiors and Flaxen is a change.

I like Flaxen, just not the dark brown contrast...wish they paired it with black. I prefer 2-color contrast interiors...all black interiors are too boring.

I have had the Acura equivalent on my last two MDXs. I like it as it doesn't show dirt like the light colors and is not as hot as black interior (and I don't really care for black interiors anyway).

Is that espresso trim, or linear mocha?

Interesting story - several years ago I wanted a new ES 350 with Flaxen and Bamboo trim. My salesman at first thought the bamboo was only available in the hybrid model and said we probably won't be ordering many Flaxen interiors - "looks like a basketball". I special ordered what I wanted and really enjoyed it. When I last talked to my salesman he was waiting for his special order to arrive - flaxen with bamboo.

Oh my god. That's exactly what Flaxen looks like. A basketball. I'm glad you got something you enjoy but damn I still think Flaxen is the ugliest color I've even seen in a car interior.

I'm currently waiting on my 300h UL with black interior and espresso trim.
