So while I was researching the lack of RDS-compatability on my non-NAV JBL radio, I was reading the eBrochure on the 07Camry. For the TCH, the eBrochure says that wood grain interior trim is standard equipment, just like the XLE! (see page 7 of the attachment). So where the heck is my wood-grain trim! I just filled out the Toyota Quality Survey that was mailed to me, and I made sure to note that this trim was missing.

The e-brochure was in error. The paper brochure lists no wood grain as either std or as an option, though I do believe that wood grain can be gotten as a dealer option.
Did you see the car before signing the papers? You must have noticed it didn't have wood grain interior. Why complain now?

What I think is NOT liveable is that fugly wood grain on the XLE...I thank my lucky STARS that was not standard equipment on the Hybrid. IMHO woodgrain is to warm the interior of a vehicle and project a feeling of enhanced luxury...I really think Jim Press and his boys missed the mark with this year's choice of wood...the color is wayyyy too light...I've had dogs that puked up warmer colors.

There are some aftermarket dash kits which can add warmth, I think Superior dash makes a set for the TCH, but I am not sure if it needs more pieces for the shift area. They have some warmer wood colors, even real wood if you want to spring for it. However, it gets expensive, and you have to know what you are doing since the application is permanent, and you get only one chance to lay the pieces down.
Edit: I have heard that Sherwood Dash makes a nice kit. I have not personally seen any of them, though...
