Thanks, now that I look at that again, looks like that is truly my car and probably many others! If you view the new Lexus IS commercials, they seem to be promoting the white F sport model. Although mine has black interior not red.

Great Question.... It was called Escaine back then, now called Alcantara..
The inserts were black in my car (just odd camera lighting), and had over 114K miles on them when I took these photos
It was also used on the doors..
Alcantara has recently been used in the newer Lexus IS-F and maybe some other Lexus IS models... They do a great job in keeping you in your seat..

Got some great news! I talked my dealer into letting me pick up the car Saturday before they close! I think they are getting tired of me!
Only a few more days of torture~ ;-)

Escaine was a good seating material on IS300. There is no creases like the leather even when the car is not new and I didn't have to worry that much about scratching due to jeans from passengers ...
