The semi aniline leather material on the 08 GS460 is similar if not the same to what's found on the new LS, ES and IS.

Here's an interesting link on Semi Aniline leather and the differences from other types of leather:

The 2008s no longer have the piping on the seats... even though the lexus website still shows the piping.

Yikes. We have the cashmere. Just about as light.
