Whenever I see this really nice looking interiors I just imagine if they'll still look all that nice when they're 5-10 years old.

I'm pretty sure I saw an IS with that interior a few months ago. It looked really nice but it doesn't seem it's anything all that new?

hmm. you're right.
i was under the impression that the carpet matched the leather.

I looked at some old pics, and they all have black carpet.

Lexus LS, SC, and GS with the Saddle leather interiors were my favorites.

No.

The top is an LS460 in Alabaster leather.

The middle is an SC430; the last is an IS250/350. Both have Ecru leather.

is the Ecru leather consider white? it would look awesome with piano black trims instead of that brown wood.

I agree that the a true two tone looks very nice. I was looking at CPO LX470's and was very disappointed to find them only in beige and gray. Very boring colored leather. I'm not sure if they even made a true black interior, but that leather just did not stand out.

There was a thread here a long time ago showing the interiors of all of the top of line cars, like the S class, 7 series, LS, Phaeton, etc. Can anyone find that thread again to show those pics? I've search but without any luck.

Ecru is like a latte.

Black trim? You mean like this?

If you're not going to have wood, don't you think carbon-fiber trim looks better than that piano-black stuff?

They did some NICE silver/aluminum-colored carbon-fiber weave on the IS-F, both on the console and door panels. I normally like wood, but this stuff was a knockout.

lol must be a taste issue. while personally i am never a fan of wood (especially on a sport car), the silver CF trim on the is-f is just awful imho. my wife's facial expression when she first saw it was pretty priceless too
