Anyone else with Blizzard Pearl and Black Leather? I ordered mine custom from Japan when I was working for corporate and I was told it wasn't a normal combination, though they built it for me.
In addition I got the NAV with manual A/C controls and no rear controls (there are vents where the controls normally are). Anyone else with this combination?
Only mid-way through 2009 MY production. My 09 came from Japan, delivered end of March 2009. At some later point, 09s were made in US. Anyway...let's not hijack this thread....back to JMS' original question.....
__________________ 09 Black HL Sport, loaded Cdn version: AWD, bk leather int.
Mods: tinted windows; upgraded headlight and fog bulbs; bug deflector; Ichiba 15mm bolt on wheel spacers, Pioneer FH-P8000BT head unit; Blaupunkt underseat sub, Viper 5901 security/auto start, stainless dual exhaust tip, upgraded horns.
Black interior with light exterior. For the most part I found white/tan/beige/gold/etc vehicles come with tan/lighter interiors while black/grey/etc vehicles come with darker interiors. My wife loved Blizzard Pearl, I loved the black leather so we ordered that combo, I'm wondering if this was available/common in non special order vehicles or not.
When I ordered the vehicle through corporate it didn't make sense to look anywhere else because of the cost savings. I saved approximately 7-8k off sticker so we never bothered going around to dealerships and seeing the color combos.
My 2011 Limited is Blizzard Pearl with black leather. I have yet to see another exactly like it, and I've had it since the new body style came out late in 2010. I didn't mind the tan, but it gets dirty...and I don't like the gray with the Blizzard Pearl. My dealership had to locate the car, and swap it with a dealership over 100 miles away, because I didn't have time to order it.

Yup, my 2009 sport came with Blizzard Pearl and Black Leather from Japan as well before they started making them in North America, didn't get the navi an extra $4000 (not worth it for me), but got the full a/c option in front and back controls.
I just (yesterday) bought a 2012 HL Limited in Blizzard Pearl with black interior. I love the combo... have had other cars with light or dark leather interiors and the dark is much easier to keep clean.
Looks great, but not a great pick in Texas heat. 105 degree days and black leather don't feel very good together.
Black on Black gets a little intense, had more than one black interior, no problems for me. I think it is hands down the best looking, but that is a personal preference of course.
