Take a look at http://www.hollinger.net/pictures/G35/ for graphite interior shots.

I don't allow external referrers on my server, so you'll have to click into the slide show to see the images.

I made the choice of the graphite interior. I love it, but it's crazy hot here in Dallas. I fire up the car and a/c then direct the vents at my seat for 10min before I leave work!

I tell you the real problem is the headliner and uprights. They're that terrible tan color and it makes any blk/slvr, blk/blk combo look not quite right!

I live in Hawaii and have the graphite interior if you sweat or have oily skin the armrest on the door and center console will show the sweat stain when ever the interior gets hot and I can't get rid of it for nothing. That is the only complain I have with the graphite.

Unless you just love black, you have to go with Stone. IMO, there is virtually no visual interest in an all black interior and it will be warmer in the summer. The Stone seems more inviting and I love the way the black dash flows into the door panels.

Not really. I didnt even notice the headliner was a different color until a few days after i picked up the car. It lightens the car enuff so it doesnt feel like a cave.

I wish i had the stone interior, but i dont have a problem with the headliner with my graphite.

So after all of this feedback and photos, have you made up your mind on a color yet?

My only concern on the graphite is, how hot will the seats get in the summer? However, I will be putting tint w/heat resistive feature on my windows soon after I get the car.

On the other side, I don't have any kids or dogs. I thank all of you that replied.

This is why I really don't like graphite. In the summer time, a black interiored G gets scorching. The leather does an AMAZING job of absorbing as much heat as posible, but no matter how hard you blast the air conditioning, you can still feel the heat coming out of the seat into our back. If you wait about 20 minutes you may actually stop sweating. Kinda miserable, but I guess if you let the a/c cool the seats for a few minutes it would not be so bad. (I am not exaggerating this either, go sit in a DG interior thats been in the sun all day and go for a test drive and see how long it takes for your back to cool down, then sit in the stone)

I've got the DG w/graphite, the stone is nice also, but i feel the gray carpeting and interior shows dirt to easily. also it reminds me of a car my dad would drive, for some reason he likes black/gray exterior with a tan/gray interior. must be and old guy thing. if temp of the seats on a warm day is an issue...you can always get a M with the seat coolers.

Amen to that especially the side window pillars which are tan regardless of the color of your interior-an real eyesore.

I've had my stone for a year now, no maintenance problems, no upkeep problems, no dirt problems.

Maintenance requirements have been minimal.

Having said that, I don't get in my car when I'm dirty, and if I have to, I always put a towel down first.
