Natural Olive

For those considering ordering Olive Wood trim, here are some pictures of my car that just arrived off the boat and is at the Dealer. My Sales guy took them with his iPhone, but they can give you a good idea. I thought long and hard about using any other wood because I like the look(not necessarily the feel) of a wood steering wheel and they do not offer steering wheels in Olive.
It goes so well with the Cognac that the loss of a wood wheel is easier to take.

This is the 1st time I've tried to post pictures so if they don't come through I'll try again!

Well they came though but with a mind of their own! Don't wrench your neck! The tone of the wood shows up nicely.

Beautiful!

I've seen the olive wood in an all espresso interior and thought it was magnificent. It looks even better in your two tone espresso/cognac vehicle.

Many happy, safe miles.

Is your wood really a lighter shade or is it a trick of the lens?
Good choice on the Umber. Would have gone that way too if I had wanted a darker color.

Bravo! Same interior as my wife's Cayenne, sans the extended olive package. Curious they would make olive grab handles but not a steering wheel? Both are handled frequently, although steering wheel more obviously. The porous nature of the olive must not wear well on a wheel.

Congrats!
