Color preference taupe or ebony inside
Which is preferable taupe or ebony (or most popular)? I'm worried the black may show dirt and get hot easily in the summer but may be a classier more popular color. I'm trying to decide between a Silver/Ebony or Nimbus Gray/Ebony MDX they have in stock. Please give me your opinion

We actually felt that the taupe was too light and would get dirty faster. Either Silver or Nimbus Gray would be great w/ an Ebony interior.
Also, the only thing we didn't like about the Nimbus Gray was that it was a bit too light for our preference; there was also a green tint to it. Perhaps Acura will replace the Aberdeen Green with a darker 'charcoal-like' gray color.
Reasons include, sun on black interior makes for a very hot seat, and a hot cabin.
Black shows dirt too, don't be fooled. All of my other cars have had dark leather interior, and have shown such things as french fry salt, formula, any kind of light food. And if you don't wipe them down on occasion they will also start to show a "film" which is the best that I can describe it.
Things you won't see in black are pen marks, grease, tar.
As far as day to day grime goes, my parents have always had light interior cars, and have not had any problems.
The key is, how dirty of a person are you? If you never wipe the seats down in your vehicle you will see some grime, otherwise go with what is best visually for you.
Just my two cents, but I also think that the lighter color offers a nicer contrast.
We don't want to over-think this decision, but welcome any thoughts?
Thank you!!!
