ive never seen a burnt brown interior on a GS....its not offered even offered thru Lexus....its gotta be custom.

Is that the same color interior offered on the current SC430?

I believe the Saddle? Interior (same as SC430 color) was offered in 2003 on Sportdesign or some other special option package model. Saw one at the dealer once.

Edit - from motortrend

http://www.motortrend.com/features/n...ews030311_lex/

The 2003 GS 300 SportDesign edition features new saddle-color seats (black is also available), gunmetal-colored aluminum wheels and an exclusive Graphite Gray Pearl exterior (Crystal White or Black Onyx are also available). HID headlamps with titanium-finished surrounds, SportDesign badges, a chrome grille, black pearl emblems, and a rear lip spoiler enhance the exterior, while the interior is accentuated by brushed metallic console trim, a center console badge and SportDesign logos on the scuff plates and floor mats. In keeping with the sporty theme, a Euro-tuned sport suspension is standard.

The 2003 GS SportDesign will be available at Lexus dealers beginning the last week of March. Approximately 2200 units will be produced and will carry a $2860 premium (which includes the leather package) above the current base model GS 300 price of $38,725.

I saw it on a white GS 300, I beleive it was a 98-00 but not sure? It passed me buy, It looked like a saddle type leather. The car was competly stock. It has a silver emblem on the side of the front fenders, almost looked like little nike swoosh's? Anyway, it didnt look like it matched the rest of the car imho.

Was it this on the fender? If so it was a Sport Design. A 2004 with the Saddle interior.

Yup I would say it was a Sportdesign. I actually like the leather color with a black car. Very rare.

that was it!, didnt think the interior went with the white exterior, perhaps black would look better as the exterior!!! but either way!!! Im sure someone had to like it, or they would not have made it.

Only the 2003 Sportdesign. I'll post pics later. Came with a black dash and black doors. Incredible look, matches the wood perfect.
