Okay, here's an opinion: My previous car had a stone interior, and with the G I chose between stone and graphite. I basically sat in, walked around, and stared at them for about an hour, and decided on graphite. I like it even more now - not a glossy black, but a great color, hides dirt well, and looks...sophisticated? Dunno, but I like it

I'd say LP and graphite, but I am a bit biased...

Seriously though IMO the LP just looks best with a dark interior, did the dealership you went to have a stone around to take a peek at?

I have the LP/Stone interior. I like it. For me, I had a previous car with a dark interior and wanted to go lighter. It was more of thing to just be in car that was more "brighter" inside.

Also I wanted to avoid hot cars during the summer and day (yeah, I know with tint one can get cooler). With the LP and all the chrome on the outside I liked the look of the lighter interior. In one aspect to me, with the stone interior, I felt it was more luxurious for the sedan mode and went with it.
With a graphite interior, I felt it wolud give more of more a Sport mode aggressive vibe for myself.

Anyway, it's all subjective.

That pic above looks more beige/wheat than what I saw in person. Stone looked more light gray to me, or maybe I need to have my eyes checked.

BTW, I went with Graphite and couldn't be happier. I also toggled with the idea of Stone since my previous 04 TL was Black on black. The two-tone of stone is nice, but Graphite just looked nicer and more sophisticated. My .02

i have LP/stone, and honestly i am thinking twice about it. don't get me wrong, when brand new i think it looks much better than graphite, but it gets dirty so easily! the graphite would have been able to hide any dirty marks better

I love the graphite interior. On my old Z I had two-tone leather seats, black/stone, and I just hated how easily the stone got dirty. It was a no brainer for me when I had to choose.

my last car had darker interior (like the graphite, maybe slightly darker).
i got my blue slate with stone because it's what they had on the lot, and i got a good deal. Would have preferred graphite, but stone looked nice.

I still like stone, but damn it picks up dirt easy. Back seat is basically covered in paw prints and I make sure the dogs are pretty clean before going for a rid with them.
