Porcelain interior

I'm starting to window shop for a replacement for my 2011 s550. I'll buy next summer. When I was looked ng online I saw one or two models (probably 2012's) that had porcelain trim where wood trim would be. One vcar was white outside with black leather interior, and the wood trim was replaced by white porcelain. It was a pretty dramatic contrast. Has anyone seen this interior?

The cars with the porcelain looked good, but I really like the wood trim in the s classes.

wood was white? never saw that. Usually porcelain is the seats that are white, and everything else black.

White "porcelain" replaced the wood wherever wood trim typically is. There was a white porcelain on the steering wheel, for example, where wood usually is located. Same for doors and dash,
