Even if they were available in the U.S., I would still had chosen the black interior. But I am sure many people would opt with those.

Nice!! I love how they use furniture as an example for potential colour combinations.

JDM models always get better options than US versions.

for example the g37 keyfob.

but the black/orange reminds me of halloween.

Weird to see bright red awesome leather seats in a 90k full-size luxury saloon but still, very nice.

Since Lexus has teased us with a few limited editions...it would be nice to see more customizable interiors throughout the rest of the line. LFA is really the first customizable Lexus offered in the United States. It's only a matter of time before the trickle down effect happens for us here. It's happening for Japan now.

if i recall correctly, we had a similar discussion earlier this year about why japan has all the cool options. if memory serves me right, one of the reasons is perhaps the higher cost entailed for customizing, which would reflect in a higher cost that consumers may balk at paying.

that's definitely true, and i am pretty torn too. i do want the ability to do the customization, but if the price gets close to bmw and mb, i can imagine what some people are going to whine about
