Black Sapphire Pearl, which is fairly dark

Except, they didn't. My 08 has Cashmere carpet.

What it looks like (possibly) is that SOME 08s got black carpet though. (Mine is BSP and has cashmere and I think the 2 guys who have had black carpet in their 08s were obsidian and Smoky Granite).

Kind of an odd change though.

07 does not have cashmere carpet, must be an 08 thing. Def a weird change.

Ok--now I'm following. I thought someone had said they have on '08 SGM with Cashmere carpets. I agree that's kind of an odd change. So, Lexus listens to consumer complaints regarding carpet color, but not [INSERT COMMON COMPLAINTS HERE]?

What people are saying is that think that cashmere gets black carpeting with some exterior colors and doesn't with others. The car I saw at Taste of Lexus was white.

Our car is going to be Matador Red Mica. Anyone out there have a new red one with cashmere seats? What's your carpet color?

"Bump"

I've ordered the the same car (with wood trim). Can anyone answer BucBaby and be specific regarding wood trim?

PS: Hi dudes, my first post.

I got an e-mail from my dealer today saying that he forwarded my e-mail and that he would let me know as soon as he heard something.

Welcome Lex Law. I can't wait to get my red car, how about you?

I heard from a regional manager and he is trying to find out about the carpeting. He couldn't find any built like that in this region. He has a call in to national. I'll keep you posted.

Anyone else out there have the black carpeting on an '08 with cashmere. We wondered if it's a exterior color thing. It might be a regional thing. Help us find out.
