Color options..

Moonlight white Xs sedan with.... stone or graphite interior?


Stone - Like the dark dash and center console contrast, but never had a light interior.

Graphite - Really like the white stitching in the s package.

Thoughts? I'm obviously indecisive.

It's a no brainer: Graphite.
Love the stitching too, plus great contrast.

Moonlight white with graphite gives you a better contrast. Go for it.

On the phone right now and none available with graphite...

My options are;

Moonlight white with Stone (In stock)
Blue slate with graphite
Black with Wheat

Hate wheat interior and not a big fan of blue slate exterior. I think it's gonna have to be Moonlight w/stone. I think adding black floor mats it'll be a nice change up after always having black leather cars... I hope...

blue slate is a great colour, and when combined with graphite interior the package looks awesome. but i'm a bit biased. i just feel a nice blue is more interesting than white.

i test drove a white/stone G and just couldn't trust a light interior over time. i do not like the wheat interior so i'd stay away from that, like you mention.

colour choice is personal. do whatever you think looks best.

So couldn't get over the slate interior. It's much lighter then I expected, although very classy and clean. Also, not sure if it is just me, but all the pictures I've seen for say 09's (Maybe 10's too) with stone interior, the center console and dash are near, if not truly black. The 2011 slate interior's dash and center console are a med. gray. As another poster questioned, I have a 2yo and a baby on the way. No way 3yrs with that light interior. However, there is not a moonlight white with graphite interior anywhere int he country. Playing the waiting game...

Anyone have any pictures of this combo in a sedan. After googling for a bit it seems very rare!

If you can be patient and wait for the white/graphite combo you won't regret it. Our previous G was white with the light interior and it looked nice, but was hell to keep clean. Even the color from new clothing would sometimes transfer onto the seats, especially from Levis.

The graphite is just so much sexier looking with the white exterior and tinted windows. It still requires regular upkeep, especially shoe scuff marks on the lower doors, but overall not bad.

This is a common(as in it exists!) combo. It was the leading combo for us before my wife allowed me to go with the old standby of"black on black". Go to Autotrader and you can find quite a few...

here's one:
Cars for Sale: 2011 Infiniti G37 X Sedan in Edison, NJ 08817: Sedan Details - 289964489 - AutoTrader.com

As some other forums encourag, don't drink their Kool-
aid!

Wait out for a white/graphite. I have a platinum graphite/graphite and love having the dark interior. I wanted a white/graphite but couldn't get one cause I got my 2009 when at the end of the model year, so slim pickings.

Be patient, you don't want to see a white/graphite around town and be filled with regret. Best of luck finding one.

No nav, sport, etc. I spent hours last night and found ONE in texas that was prem. nav. sport NON-x. Considering non-x although I'm in inclimate weather. Like the additional brakes, suspension, VLSD.

I see...I thought I was missing something there. Finding an X in my neck of the woods would be the first challenge, but white with graphite was going to be my first choice until we stumbled across the black on black that was still in the shipping stickers - born in October and in my hands less than two months later(on the lot for about 2-3 days).

I have put up with so many light interiors (gray/taupe/silver, etc) that I needed the graphite to stay sane. I do have fond memories of the silver leather though and I would go back to that (Tuxedo Black and Silver leather '66 vette roadster).

Good luck finding the right combo. If you "settle" for something, they'll always be that niggling regret. I didn't foresee my descent back into the obisidian-wash-me-every-day status, but something just clicked in person....

Tony - nice ride. Kudos on your mods, too. We may get one of those when our current (Acura)lease is up. The solution when you want both- get both.

Tony thanks!! Exactly what I'm looking for plus the sport package. Love the moonlight white and I don't think pictures do it justice. They just don't catch the pearl effect. Set on graphite interior and hoping they find one soon.
