Default Cashmere seats, black carpeting

OK. Went to Taste of Lexus and walked up to an IS250. It had cashmere perforated seats and black carpet! We are getting the regular cashmere seats, and when we ordered we asked if we could have black carpet with that. They said no. It looked great.

How can you get cashmere seats with black carpeting? What package would that be?

Also, if anyone out there has black mats in their cashmere interior, I'd like to see a picture of it. Just wondering what it would look like.

Maybe it was a demo IS250, because you CAN NOT get cashmere seats with black carpeting with any package!

I asked when we bought the car, because it made sense to me. (Doesn't mean that it makes sense to Lexus) The sterling interior has black carpeting, why not the cashmere? The dash is black and cashmere, right?

When I saw that car, I was like...why does this one have it?

I thought all carpet and dashes were black? I have the sterling grey interior, and the carpet, dash, and trim is black.

I sat in a black/cashmere IS on the showroom when I was looking at new cars and it did have the black carpet as well. The sterling car I looked at also had the black carpet.

There are more picture and since this is the first time seeing this interior. I think it looks good I'm not a big fan of the two tone interior but I actually like the look.

I just got my 2008 IS with cashmere interior with black carpeting. The Lexus dealer said that the black carpeting was one of the changes for 2008.

I noticed that you have the perforated seats. Do you have the X Package? Perhaps it's just with that one?

Anyone here get a new 2008 with regular seats? What color carpeting do you have?

Help me get to the bottom of this mystery!
