Yeah that Chrysler-Benz interior looks ugly.

The GS with sterling interior gets the Dark Grey Bird's Eye Maple interior and looks stunning.

I think I read in the new Lexus 08 catalog that the ES has a Black wood option. If somebody made it in piano black i would of jumped on that to match my black interior.

I would prefer Piano Black Ebony.

That would be hot. But difficult to maintain...

Highly likely.

They did it for the GS for its 4th MY appearance, and I'm pretty sure they'll do it for the IS.

This is the dark wood from the LS, called "Dark Gray Birds Eye Maple"





They should offer something similar for the IS

Well, I defintely like the Lexus Birds Eye Maple better than the Infiniti Rosewood. I didn't like that style at all.

yeah makes me think of a granite kitchen counter. I think they should offer Piano Black wood, that'd look nice.

The pics don't show the detail these Dark Grey Bird's Eye Maple interiors that the GS and Ls models with grey interior have. It really takes elegance to the next level. Im sure all you guys would change your mind when you see one in person. I wish they would've done the Sterling interiors with wood grain the right way from the beginning. The red wood and gray interior don't go together at all.
