I always try and do the same, but we did more driving while we were there than we typically do. I have actually had my credit card stolen 3 times from getting gas on the NJ turnpike. At least now you can use the apps...

My perfect interior is Black Leather seats with Black carpet.
I have Silver interior in my RX330 and I'm imagining this light colored interior featured in pic above will be as hard to keep clean as mine- actually worse since at least my seats are leather so the clean easy but silver carpet is a nightmare.

I have beige, silver and black interiors (X2). I like the beige the best. But I agree it’s hard to keep clean

I like the look of light grey interiors but they are hard to keep perfect, I am not having an issue with the 460 but the 430s white interior is starting to annoy my wife since it needs a wipe down every drive to remain perfect. Black is so easy to live with, my favorite though is a darker brown for the seat surfaces like the saddle spec in the LS or flame red like in the LC500/GSF

If I could keep it clean I could do white leather and carpet no problem because I think it looks awesome.
But, I will try to never own a car again with light interior because I don't like worrying abot staining it so much.

As far as exterior colors, I like black but it doesn't hold up down here in S. Florida.
Unless a car is stored under cover they look like hell with peeling clear coat and all.
Seen several Lexus RX350's with Black paint in very horrible condition but Pearl White always looks good.

That's the problem......almost all interiors today are silver, gray, or black, with a couple of burgundy/dark red options here and there like on the Lexus F-Sport option and some BMW M models. What the industry desperately needs, IMO, s a little trip down memory lane...........

I’ve dabbled with other interior colors, I always come back to black. It looks rich, it stays clean, it’s always in style, it doesn’t get old…

Black is my favorite, always has been. I wish my 430 was black inside, but the grey looks nice enough. The tan interior choice of the LX was a dealbreaker, literally. We don't think it looks nearly as sharp as the black. I also like reddish seats with black interior trim.

I'm coming back to Silver on Black for my next and future cars, lighter interiors are nice but too annoying to live with and they don't stay looking new as long or as easily.

I love that interior color, I would only get it in my fun car though since it would fade and drive me nuts if I daily it.

That looks soooo cheesy to me.
But, if it's on MY vintage Impala I can be ok with it and let it slide...

That looks so good.
Can we see the rest of your car?
Like to see the wheels it bolts to.
