Who has Cashmere / Metallic trim?
Does anyone have Cashmere interior with the metallic trim? Do you have a picture you can post?
I'm considering going with this combo and am unsure about it. I really prefer the wood, but getting it with a manual tranny will take a special order.
Thanks!

just a warning guys...cashmere is really tough to keep clean....I saw one at my dealer that had been there 2 days and had scuff marks on the door sills and the carpet was already dirty. IT IS BEAUTIFUL - but I just couldn't deal with keeping it clean.

Cashmere (tan) isn't that big of a deal to keep clean if you're a generally clean person and you enjoy taking care of the car. Some leather cleaner/conditioner every week and kicking your shoes out before you get in the car works wonders.

I have the Cashmere interior with wood. I absolutely love this combination. Yes keeping it clean will require some effort, but if you are careful, then you will be ok. I would advise to get black floor mats tough, they help.

decisions...decisions...
After much negotiation, my local dealer offered me $500 shy of what I wanted on my trade...on a Crystal White/Cashmere manual (no premium pkg) that they can get their hands on in a month.
Otherwise, if I special order to get the premium package, they won't give as much on trade (no firm numbers were discussed). And I'll be paying more than I really want.
With the manual, the amount of wood in the console is reduced. But I really wanted that perf leather and vented seats. Argh!
Wish there was one in the NE region, even if it didn't have 18" alloys.

Is there a way of using the cleaner or conditioner too much or too often? I want my black leather to always look clean and new (obviously), but I do not want to ruin my leather by treating it too much. That is why I am asking if this is the case.
