Yeah... at the Aston Martin dealer the salesman said you can seal white leather which allows you to wipe off any stains with water. But the fact is I took a car with white leather for a test drive in dark jeans and the seats were already blue after a 10 minute drive. Sad.

You guys that worry about the white leather being hard to maintain.
Both Lexus that I own personally, a 05' LS430 UL and a 06' SC430, they both got the white....Ecru leather.
I got them because they look so good, I did have some concern about keeping them clean, but I figure I just clean them often if I need to.
I owns both cars for a few years and I put 20k~40k miles on them now, turns out the leather quality is so high, it takes a very long time for them to get dirty, and when it does, just wipe them off.
Let's put it this way, my LS is my daily driver and my SC is my weekend PCH cruiser. I am a picky guy, I keep them in perfectly clean condition, I clean them when I feel necessary.
I clean the leather on both cars once every 6 months. The SC see less mileage, but driving with the top down does make it dirty faster then the always close up LS.
I would not hesitate to buy another car with white leather again. But then I am pretty certain my experience is so good is due to the ultra high quality leather that Lexus uses. I have seen many other luxury's cars leather that doesn't age so well.

Yes, I know, Mike. But you have known me for a long time...I enjoy ballin' on a budget. Gotta give Hyundai/Kia props, they have been coming out with some awesome stuff the last few years...

I really like the Bird's Eye wood trim of the LS. The piano black trim should've been in the original design for the IS F, as the 09+ looks much better with it. And the Maybach...sexy!
