Just joined this group -- was thrilled to find a forum dedicated to my new favorite car. I've put a deposit down for a Diamond Graphite Coupe but was wondering if anyone has ever seen one of these with the Willow Leather interior (with Titanium Console)? I typically like lighter interiors because they feel more spacious to me but am not sure if the combination of DG/Willow will look good. I'd be okay with the Graphite interior as well since I think it looks very cool, but would love to know if anyone has seen a DG/Willow firsthand and what their thoughts are of it.

Ken, welcome aboard. I have a DG with Graphite on order as well. I've never seen the DG with willow and would guess it would look good. Personally, I would prefer the DG with black interior, but if you like a lighter interior, willow does look nice.
Have you seen one yet? Check out the sedans, as most Infiniti dealers have the sedans in and you might be able to find a similar color combo to get an idea off of, like silver and willow.
Let us know when she comes in, and send pictures! I'm putting together a gallery as I write this! []

Diamond Graphite / Graphite
I've seen a sedan with Willow which looked pretty good to me, but it was with a Silver exterior and I didn't like that combo too much. I think the Willow would look best with Black or Red, but the DG is just too cool so I went for that exterior. I pretty much told the dealer I'll take either interior. I think the Willow is a little more luxurious, but the Graphite is more sporty. Can't decide at this point!

I agree with you in that the Willow looks a little more luxurious and the black more sporty...personally I would go with the Black interior with the DG, I think that combo looks too sweet!
Seems like the Graphite is the color of choice... and that's what I told my dealer to get so that's probably what I'll get. But I'm so eager to get the car that if one happens to come in in Willow, I'll probably just go ahead and do it!
Actually, I've been seriously considering the Silver exterior as well, but I'm trying to stick with my guns and wait for the Graphite since it seems to be more rare.
Thanks again for the input and welcomes.

I own a 5AT, Diamond Graphite, with willow interior and it looks damn classy, good.[^]

If you plan on getting it in a couple of months you might as well order it now... It's gonna take awhile. You MIGHT luck out and be able to get one sooner if your dealership already has one coming in configured exactly the way you want that isn't already allocated to someone else. Or you can order one, but I've been told by most dealerships (at least here in California) that if you order a car it takes about 3 months. And the waiting sucks.

I have the graphite interior and it's very nice.
Although I was looking for the graphite,
there is something a sales person ([clown]) said
which COULD make sense:
willow interiors scratch easily.
Might be right, might be wrong...
BTW, I got mine at the dealership, right off the lot...
I just kept an eye on the infiniti.com inventories.
