Unfortunately, on the newer creme interiors like the interior of the NX, the lower parts of the doors and carpet are still black so it is only marginally better than older models where the entire interior was the lighter color. I do think the two-tone appearance of the creme interior is very striking though and we have enjoyed it much better than our all black interior.

I guess my point is that you need to take all the time you need to make your decision so that you have no regrets.

I think the the more important decision may be 2017 model year or 2018 model year. If I were in your position, I would seriously consider the 2018 due to the rumored improvements in sound deadening of the new model.
