None of the dealers in the Phoenix area have any, nor does anybody expect to receive any. I'm told those interiors are special order only.
I'm contemplating a Cool Vanilla 300C with the green/grey interior. Anyone have pics of the special interiors?

Sorry, no pics but my interior is light gray with a very dark jade. The carpet is light gray, almost white. It also is on the rear package shelf. The top of the dash, steering wheel bottom, and top half of the doors are all in this dark jade (green). The rest of the interior is light gray. The headliner is likewise very light gray in color. I believe this is the "green" interior you asked about.
Not aware of any other green. It was not a special order because my dealer had 2 exactly the same when I bought it so I had a choice of the 2 cars. This color combo has been illustrated on the many brochures i received also. I had to search for it and found them, equipped as I wanted, at only one of the WashDC area dealers.
This contrast is very pleasing; I believe the light interior helps avoid the "tunnel" feeling than can be found with darker interiors since the windows have been reduced in size.
Only drawback could be easily soiled carpets, particularly with kids. I have no young kids and my solution to soiling has been to add cheap clear plastic mats, front and rear. This is satisfactory but some may not want to go to this trouble. Even sounds a bit silly, but it works. I did the same thing with earlier LHS's with light interiors.
