Default what color interior do you have

I really hate the black interior but of course thats just me being subjective. it is impossible without special ordering the color combo I want [CW/cashmere] and my dealer told me they are not available in the 350. I had to settle for MR instead. it seems to me that almost everyone has the black interior so lets see what the percentage actually is.

I don't have a car yet, but I ordered cashmere. It was between this and sterling for me. I wasn't even considering black. I think black looks ok, but, too d*mn hot, IMHO.

What happens if you could have black interior and avoid that nasty HEAT? I have found the IS350's black perferated interior does just that. It is amazing...I am more than happy with black!

I had a Black interior on my last car which I had for 8 years and on the day I sold it it looked as good as the day I picked it up.

Needless to say, I'm very happy with the Black interior on my IS.

It is. (Though I'm a bit biased) Seems like in the allocations for this part of the country, black interiors are by far the most common.

Crystal White with Black is rare in California (at least for IS 350), that's my experience. Picked it over Cashmere (Tan) which every dealer seemed to have because I wanted more a less one color look in the interior. Besides, the wood matches with the black better in my opinion.

Don't have to worry about heat (in the summer) because I have a car cover
