I don't have the X Package. It's the luxury package with Nav and ML.

I should have also mentioned the other noticeable difference for 2008 is the wheel color. I think they call the new color liquid graphite. I like the look and I think it hides the brake dust better than the old color.

Wow.....first the coin holder and now, black carpeting. This is freakin' me out, man.

Guess Lexus ran out of cashmere.

fotaman,

What happened to the picture of the inside of your car? It seems to be gone now and I wanted to show my son. When we asked for the black carpeting, he thought that it would look ugly.

wow, we didn't see that coming
but is this black carpeting a standard feature or optional?

Here's the interior picture. I believe black is the new standard. My dealer said that Lexus received a lot of feedback about the light colored carpet showing dirt and stains. I really like the cashmere leather interior. It looks much better in person. The flash picture makes it look a little pinkish.

And the exterior with the new wheel color.

Thanks a bunch for the pictures. Wow! Beautiful shot of the car. Great backdrop. Utah is a lovely state. We did the Moab, back roads to Tropic and Bryce Canyon and then to Zion thing two years ago. It was terrific.

Has anyone else been to the dealership and seen the black carpet with the cashmere? When I called the salesman today he said that they still had the cashmere.

The black carpet looks great and will be much easier to keep clean cutting interior cleaning in half.

BucBaby, I'm glad you appreciated the pictures. I'm hoping to get out sometime this week to get some good autumn pictures to add to the seasons pictures thread.

I know the Bryce Canyon area pretty well. I'm originally from California but I spent my summers during my high school years working on a ranch near Bryce Canyon. I fell in love with the mountains and the redrock and decided to put down roots in the state.

My car is a 2008, sport pkg with ML but no Nav... cashmere interior, and cashmere carpet...so black is NOT standard for all 08 Cashmeres.

so who wants to trade their 2 tone(black $ cashmere) for my black interior??!?!? anyone?? =)

BucBaby

I sent an e-mail to my dealer to see if it's possible for our car to have the black carpet. We asked them to find out about this in May, and were told that it wasn't an option. Our new order (actually, only real order) was just placed. I'm hoping that it become a reality.

Kurtz, maybe the carpet color is determined by by the exterior color, with darker colors getting the black carpet. What color is your exterior?

I have an '07, and the Cashmere carpets were tan, but the Sterling carpets were black. Not sure if I like it as much with Cashmere.
