| Acura has taken the Bordeaux interior off the website. Have they discontinued it already? It looked like an interesting color combo. If anyone has it, it's a collector's item now! |

| You're right - I couldn't make the Bordeaux come up on any of the exterior colors. I was wondering why the steering wheel and shift knob were not available in that color. Maybe Acura was testing the waters. Interesting. I love mine, and would choose it again. |

| The Bordeaux was the only reason i bought my Mdx with the Black exterior. It was on the showroom floor and i had to have it. Its an awsome color. |

That explains why I couldn't get a bordeaux interior, either. First I missed the dark blue exterior in 05, and now the bordeaux interior in 07.
I needed the Bordeaux interior, since I drink a lot of red wine in the car. I hate those red wine stains. |

| Apparently you can drive North to the manufacturing source (Canada) as they have ebony and Bordeaux almost exclusively. Hmmm...I wonder if they have the matching accessories. The OEM steering wheel just doesn't look right. Neither do the non-matching all-season mats. |

| bordeaux only came in the Black and two White exteriors. I'm sure if you go to dealers they should still have a couple |

I expect no less, coming from a dealer. |

I drink white wine so I had to go with the taupe interior. Thankfully I don't drink too much Zinfandel. I just don't think I could have handled a peach interior for my X! :p |

Just so we're clear, Zinfandel is a RED grape and is a red wine. "White zinfandel", i.e. wine made from zinfandel grapes with limited skin exposure, is cheap plonk and should never be drunk in an MDX (even if it matches your interior). Perhaps a better pairing with a Dodge Caliber or Pontiac Aztec....:1: |

Thanks, Dog, for the clarification. Can you hear the applause from all our wine aficionados? |

Wow, my libation skills have been seriously trumped by an "extra special" member.
Guess I should have stuck with the Aberdeen Green MDX and kept to the margaritas! :1: |

I'm not aspiring to be a connoiseur, so I'll stick to my Guinness since it may impart an aged look to my bordeaux interior. |
