I am about ready to put in an order for a GS350 AWD (non F-sport) basically loaded with ever possible option (including HUD). I am set on the exterior color, Deep Sea Mica. But I am torn on the interior color. Gray or Black? I don't want Flaxen, don't like tan. I test drove a Black/Gray model this weekend and really liked the contrast. But, then black is more durable and looks cool.

So, any thoughts? Anybody have any good pics of what the gray interior looks like?

Thanks

i had a DSM 2011 ES350 with the BLK int. and i liked it. but gray sounds interesting with the DSM. i don't know if there's a picture on this forum or maybe someone in photoshop can photoshop it for you. as a matter of fact i saw a DSM GS with the gray int. at Lexus of Massapequa and it looked nice. if you don't have alot of traffic or kids in your car you shouldn't have a problem keeping the gray clean.

 

BLACK. Period.

 

Gray (Premium & Luxury):




Black (F SPORT):

 

BLACK!

You won't go wrong with BLACK.

 

I much prefer to have contrast. To me, all black is boring, plus, the exterior, Deep Sea Mica, is very dark. Bring some variety into your life

 

Liquid Platinum with Light Gray Interior:

 

I think the flaxen would look great with the dark blue. Remember, it's not tan - more like saddle.

 

Flaxen.

There is nothing that comes close

 

I'd recommend black or flaxxen. Contrast is nice - but I've been in enough grey interiors (my dad's car is grey and he's a very very clean person) where you see dirt marks, hand prints, darkening, etc. Maybe you'll keep it much cleaner, but I'd go with black.

With interior and exterior colours, I'm now realizing that my first new car of white on black was the best choice .

 

both are fantastic choices; im more of a black int type but the gray for once since everything else in the car is black is nice too! good luck with the decision!!!

 

Light grey interior and Riviera Red paint. Looks awesome. Black can absorb the heat and get pretty warm in the summer.

Black looks excellent, but I'm happy with light grey.

 

It looks like Lexus finally got smart and the default carpet color is black. With that being said, the grey would probably look good with DSM. I had black with it on my 2011...looked great too. My 2008 with tan interior was awful. Keeping the carpet clean on the driver's side was damn near impossible.

 

There's no bad choice. Ask me a few months ago, and I would have easily said light gray, suggesting that the lighter color would give it more of a luxury feel. But, after a month of driving a black-on-black GS450h, the black interior holds its own, especially with a lighter contrasting stitch material. If you want to emphasize aggressive sport, go with black. If you want more the luxury look, go with gray. Both are solid choices.

 

Buy 2 car one with black the other with gray. No more hesitate/guessing.
