Dear Lexus Japan,

I applaud your new release of the Elegant White Interior for the IS Series sedan. As an IS owner myself, I would like to see a carbon fiber treatment for the interior that would accentuate the sportier side of the IS. I look forward to new incarnations of the IS, just don't bring a Sportcross.

Thank you,
Hapaboy

Considering the audience here, these responses do not surprise me in the least. Lexus should have known their owners are allergic to "high maintenace" items like light-colored seats. Just wait until I get my two-tone IS-F seats...

I like the 2-tone black-white seats of the IS-F better than these .

The original use of the word fob, etymologically speaking, refers to the short length of chain used to attach the pocket watch ( think: 19th-century timepiece common before the advent of wristwatches) to the button of a vest adjacent to the pocket the watch is stored in, the chain, or fob, keeps the watch from dropping to the ground when bending over, and allows enough freedom of movement to check the time. The word fob has been bastardized to refer to the accessory used to unlock and lock car doors, that sometimes is attached with a short length of chain, the fob would in fact be the chain itself and not the accessory. That is how language evolves.

Yeah, and never wear denim or anything else that the color might come off of to discolor the leather. And don't forget to always take your shoes off before getting into the car to protect that nice white carpeting, and DON'T wear dark socks whatever you do! And never eat or drink ANYTHING while in the car! And don't touch anything other than the steering wheel! And NEVER EVER allow passengers into your car - you never know what they might contaminate your seats or carpeting with!
But aside from these minor restrictions, an elegant white interior would really be great.... lol
