And just so you now, the IS-C has a blue interior...
I dont think Lexus offers that color option anymore for the IS-C, I think the new saddle interior replaced that.

I didnt like that blue anyways, just took cheap and aftermarket like

I wish the old school Lexus' had more options like this. I hate my SC's tan/brown/whatever that weird color is' interior. It seems like I can never find a good deal on a non-tan interior IS350 or LS430 either...

My guess is the carmakers nowadays WANT the interiors to age rapidly so as to force buyers to trade in their cars more frequently.

you want a blue collar interior on a white collar car. you should look into chevy astrovans, they come with a nice cloth blue interior.

Basic competition. Lexus had to add some color to it's interior pallet. The Germans have had a lot more to offer in this department for many years. Audi was really on the ball with the 1998 A6, which offered customers three different interior "atmospheres" as standard equipment.

Does anybody have a picture of this purple-like leather in the 01-03 LS? I've been looking online all morning with no luck.

I really wish that Lexus gives the GS one last chance and grant them a special color for MY 2012.
