Is the new 2008 Natural Brown the same as the 2007 Auburn? I don't really like the contrast between all the black with the brown seats and I'm hoping that the Natural Brown is the full interior and not just the seats.

Auburn is not same as Brown
Seats and doors sidetrim are natural brown
Roof and pillars are Gray( cost option: Black anthracite roofliner and pillars)
Floor, Back window and deck are black
Therefore it is TRI-COLOR (or Bicolor with the option- Anthracite roof and pillar liners)

I agree Auburn is not Brown.
This pic from the UK site shows the grey pillars for sure.
Doh, missed the Anthracite headliner option when I ordered. Looks like it's Tri-Color for me.

Hmmm, didn't see Anthracite roofliner as an option for US cars. I did order 4BY Bamboo Anthracite wood trim option - is that the same?
Anthracite, like magnolia (or brown or auburn) is a shade marketing term for a pigment.

Anthracite can be almost any "shade" of "black".
