Default Brownstone Interior

For anyone that has Brownstone interior, would you mind posting a picture or two of it, especially if you have it with NRB or CRT?

If you have Brownstone, are you happy with it?

Does Brownstone come with the Suede inserts, or is that an option?

Thanks in advance for any pics or info you reply back with.
Bob

Personally, I don't think pictures do it justice.
I wasn't fond of it until I saw a white coupe with it at a dealership.
The brownstone is a much richer looking color in person than the camera lens picks up.

Get it you will love it. I have it and get all kinds of compliments. What I like about it is the brown carpet that matches the brownstone.

It comes with the suede inserts on the doors,front of dash, and glove box cover between the seats. You have to pay extra if you want the suede in the seats

And like all colors of both the exterior and interior you should see them outside in preferably bright sun and also when it's cloudy.

I'd be a little worried about how the arm rest and console will wear with time.
Looking forward to seeing this in person as I like the look.
Thanks for the pics.

I like the Brownsone also but I was thinking of going more along the lines of a 2LT interior so I guess thats a no no. I have not yet met anyone who is at all positive on the Navigation system so that whyno 3LT for me. I do not like the kalahari. I am now in favor of the Lime Rock exterior so it looks like Black for an interior.

Robert, thanks for the info. I didn't know that any suede came with the interior, I thought all of the suede had to be purchased separately.

What exterior color do you have?

Thanks.

Yea, no Brownstone with 3LT. I hadn't read a lot of posts about folks being unhappy with the Nav, I will have to check that out. If I don't get Brownstone, Kalahari (2LT) or Black are my other choices.

I went with LRG (I prefer to call it Irish Racing Green) and brownstone. I preferred it to the kalahari. The nav comments don't bother me too much. I've yet to come across a perfect nav system be it in my own cars or rentals, or my old Garmin (which is still pretty handy for driving in Europe with rental cars). I'd rather have the in car nav rather than use my phone mainly since the screen is bigger and easier to read.
