Wood Trim vs. Metal: which do you prefer?
There seems to be pretty strong opinions on both sides over which trim is more desirable in the IS (wood or metal), so I thought it would be helpful to hear from a broader cross-section of CL members.

Depends on what kind of wood and in what car. I loved aluminium I had in my M3 but hated the wood I had in the CL600 even though it was real. I like the wood in the IS because of it's color. Some cars look good with wood and some don't. I love the wood on Ranger Rovers the most because it has a nice color and isn't as shiny as others.

Wood plus cashmire for the lux look. Agree with vortex...i drove the G35 coupe and wood looks like poop. I think because it has more of a 'sports car' feel then a lux sedan like the IS.

I like the wood because every chic that has rode in my ride likes it. Also, the metallic reminds of something like a g35. If i wanted that look I would have saved 8k and got one of those. I like how they just used a little wood too. Like it's a good mix. sporty car, but you still know you are in a lexus when you get in.
