LOL. That's lamest ways of saying 'I have no wheat and to keep you from leaving I'll sell you graphite' I've ever heard. I'm not in the habit of driving with wet jeans all that much, but maybe that's something the sales guy does a lot... not that there's anything wrong with that.

If it's that bad with wheat, then stone is going to be equally bad. Hope his allocations are all graphite from now on.

I know when I considered an M, the wheat there was pretty light, and it was going to need a more frequent cleaning than graphite. I've only seen the G wheat at night, but from there and pics, it seems a bit darker.

For me, graphite was the only choice for the same reasons. I know my car wouldn't survive the occasional coffee stain or soda spill in any other color. But since the OP wanted the rosewood trim, I suggested wheat because I think that color combo looks better.

My local dealer had a model with the graphite and rosewood ready for purchase but it didn't jive with me. The lexus I was looking at had the same color combination, but the lexus wood had a clearcoat finish that looked great with black. The Infiniti rosewood was somewhat dull and looked unfinished in comparison.

My wife wasn't too crazy about the G35 interior until she saw graphite w/ washi but my sales rep. said he liked the wood better than the Washi. I guess, it's just a matter of preference.

If you have the chance, I would go look at the car in person. Pictures can be somewhat misleading.

Haha...this was on unveiling night, before he even had any in stock. My main thing with wheat is 'cause I want the rosewood and think the combo is hot. Plus I hate burning my @$$ when getting into a dark leather interior in the summer. I'm hoping having wheat (or even stone) would help with this.
