Sorry to be a pest (maybe someday I can add something instead of always asking something) but, once again, I'm in a quandry. I've decided on Bahia brown leather and have seen it with the black with white lines trim but am curious about how the Linden (glossy) and Walnut (natural grain) would look. It's as much a matter of color compatibility as it is gloss vs. natural. As always, thank you.

We have the walnut in ours with the beige mbtex interior. It's nice. But if I had to do over again and actually had the option to do it, I would have probably gone with the glossy Linden. Just looks a bit more upscale to me. The walnut is a flat/matte finish. It's not bad by any means, but doesn't "pop" like the glossy finish does.

Our 2024 GLS 450 has Bahia Brown MB-Tex with Brown Linden Wood trim and Cardinal Red Metallic paint. The Linden Wood is very glossy and I'm happy with the appearance. I've tried taking high resolution photos of the interior with a quality smartphone, but I can't seem to get accurate color rendition with bright outdoor lighting. This official photo from the 2024 GLS order guide provides accurate color rendition and appearance of Bahia and Linden Wood:

I went with the Walnut on my order… I like the glossy wood, but felt the matte looked better on the expanse in the center console.

I also did exclusive trim, for the additional wood and lighting on the back of the front seats. For $450 it’s a relative bargain.

The exclusive trim is the one thing I wish I had added to my build! I can't understand why I didn't think to add it.
