How many 2010-2013 Aspen pearl mdx's did they make with black interiors?

I had no idea they had this. I wish I could have found one.

As an owner of of Aspen/beige, my answer is: Not enough!!

Sometimes they do not offer all interior colors with a given exterior color. For example, as you can see by trying the "build and price" feature on Acura's website, if you get a 2013 base or Technology MDX in Aspen pearl, the only interior color you can get is parchment (beige). If you get a 2013 Advance MDX in Aspen pearl, the only interior colors you can get are parchment or umber (brown). No black interiors for 2013 Aspens. At least, none leave the factory that way when headed for the U.S. market. The interior parts could be swapped out for Acura or aftermarket replacements in black (or lime green or any other color), but it ain't gonna be cheap.

I don't know if the above is true for the other years you're asking about, but it's true for 2013. (And if it is true for those other years, then the answer to your question is zero!)

Interesting, the video is of a 2012, anybody know about how many 2012's came like this? When I got mine the dealer couldn't tell me how many were made, she just said it was rare but was done. How would anybody know if it's not advertised? As said above you can't even build that option. I often wonder why the beige is thought of as the color of choice with a white exterior? Other company offer White on Black.

Interesting, I never knew Acura offered Ebony on any of their white cars.

Definitely was not avail on the MY2010 vehicles as that was the combination we wanted.

skinny2 · 01-12-2013, 11:43 PM

That combo wasn't available when we were buying in August '12. Not in any booklets or listed on the web at that time.

Had a 2010 TSX Tech that was white with black interior. Looked great and was pretty rare. It does seem Acura makes very few of these combos if it is even offered.

My experience with Infiniti has been the same...very few white/black. Not sure why, I think it looks great.

Yeah it does look great. I remember the old RSX Type-S days some of the guys literally sought after black interiors for their white RSX's to make it look closer to the JDM DC5 Type-R.

That's bizarre 'cuz up here in Canada you have the option of either the beige or black interior with the Aspen Pearl White exterior.

I've got the APW with ebony interior and the dealer even custom painted the fake wood plastic trim to a piano black trim...looks much better than the fake wood IMO.

That's a Canadian model. It has the washers for the HIDs.

That is what I wanted: white exterior/black interior. But, on MY2012, combo wasn't offered. I ended up with Giorgio (dark gray) with black interior. I am not too thrilled with the color combo.

Yep...got those as well.

When I was looking, White was one colour I did not want and/or ebony interior.
80% of the CPO's for sale were that combo.

The other option we have that's not standard in a US model is heated second row seats.
