I would like to know what Interior combo you would choose and why would you choose that combo
#1 Black leather with Poplar Wood Trim?
#2 Black leather with Anthracite Wood Trim?
If you have any photo that would be nice too.

It's all up to you -- I think black + poplar is the way to go but anthracite is good too especially with a black exterior color.

I have black with anthracite and I find it too dark. Sometimes it doesn't even look like wood as it blends in with the black plastic surrounding trim. I would go for the poplar.

I have black with anthracide. I would have preferred aluminum or light poplar, but neither was an option. The anthrace has a clean look, and I have grown quite fond ot it.

I find it really odd that the M-Sport package is offered in Canada but not the US. We can get the body kit but that's about all.
