Yeah I think that's a case of salesperson BS. A medium or dark grey is on every list of desirable for resale luxury car colors I've ever seen.

I'm torn betw. the 2: At first we thought parchment bec. that's what we have on both our GS and GX but after looking at a silver vehicle with Cabernet interior it looks really elegant (something you see a lot in RR, MB, Bentley, Porche, etc).

Also - it looks like the Cab is harder to find. Supposedly can't be kept on the lot long enough

I waited to get mine with black interior. I live on a farm and work with horses and the LX is my farm truck. My previous LX with a light interior was just not practical given the exposure to dirty boots, horse sweaty tack, feed, hay, and manure. Plus, its way easier to find aftermarket items in black.

I just picked up my Atomic Silver with Parchment interior and it looks fantastic. I love the wood trim and did not care for the wood trim with the Cabernet interior.

Atomic with parchment. I don't think that's a combination I've seen before, can you post pics?

Congrats!

Here's an interior view---I really like the wood trim.

Well at least your steering wheel wood matches the rest of the wood trim. Had you gotten the cabarnet and expresso trim, it would be a Lexus knock-off.

I did not like the cabarnet and expresso trim looked too shinny and cheesy. Plus the black frame on red seats turned me off.
