eucalyptus is definitely not a burled wood. I'd say light wood.

eucalyptus is eucalyptus and burl wood is burl wood they are from two different species of tree, the one you see inside the car are called veneer wood (thin skinned real wood and laminated on another piece of wood) the best and most beautiful one for me is burlwood, it is elegant and with taste, a eucalyptus is so orange in color, it is in fact one of the less favorite due to its bizarre color and the wood grain shape is just as bad like the birds eye maple, but then again it all depends on each individuals taste.

Any more pics? I've also seen where the Expresso Edition comes with Brown Poplar wood. I think it may depend on the year. Anyone have a brochure for the different years?
