Question Leather color question

Just a thought... I was recently checking out Ebay and came across an Red ES250. The interesting thing was that it was equiped with red leather. I'm on my 4th Lexus vehicle (long story) and have only ever had the choice of Ivory, grey or black leather. Even though the car was older and the leather was worn, the red leather complimented the car well. I think black or red Lexus might look good with red leather interior. Just wondering what everyone else thinks.

I agree. I have a neighbor with an E46 convertible, 328CiC, black with red leather, and it looks great with the top down. I've also seen a few nice Boxsters with red leather. And of course, there was the Neiman Marcus Edition SC430 with red leather, but I thought the red carpet was overdone. I like it when the upholstery is red, but the carpet and dash are black (same goes for cognac colors like the Lexus "Saddle" color, I like how Lexus makes the rest of the interior black--compare that to the "Brick" interior on the Infiniti FX--the carpet and dash are cognac, too, and it's a little overdone).

Shot of the driver's interior. Needs wood trim badly!
