considering grey poplar?
i must admit, i'm not entirely sold on it. it looks much greyer in the online configurator. anyway, my camera (cannon s400) makes it look almost entirely brown which is not accurate. having said that, in direct sunlight, it certainly does have a brownish tint to it. so, i'd highly recommend that you guys see it in person and not blindly order it.

that's pretty strange, I've seen it in person and really did not pick up any brown. I suppose it depends on lighting. But the configurator looks closer than that.
Anyone with gray poplar already want to chime in?

i had an opportunity to test drive one with grey poplar, def. not as brown as the picture but it really does have a brownish shade to it in the sun. It was enough to make me move to HG black

I agree...I have gray poplar and in normal light it looks darker. You would need to put your face pretty much up close to it to see some brown tint. The poplar goes well and provides a pleasing contrast to an all black interior.

the window sticker on my car said gray poplar but it looks dark brown, especially in artificial light, just like the OP's pictures.

I love the grey poplar with Coral, but the grey poplar with Terra is really growing on me. The Terra is like a natural brown cow. Ever seen a red cow?

I went to the dealership today and saw both gray poplar and high gloss black in person. Both were paired with black leather. I liked the gloss black a little better. My concern would be how it holds up over time and if it collects dust.
Both are nice, but if I had seen the gloss black before I ordered I would have chosen it over the gray poplar when paired with a black interior. |
