^yea, I will have to agree with you that this is one of the hardest combos to find. You have a better chance finding white / saddle. I tried to find White / Black for an SC and even this car and it was extraordinarily difficult. Good luck.

As an FYI, when consulting mom-dukes on a recent car purchase, I suggested white on black for her 2010 Maxima. Being a little old lady, I was surprised she did it! Nice combo!

White on black just is a richer look then biege . Its so strange why they make every other color with lots of black and one of theier most hotest colors is biege ... I was all over yahoo cars and car.com all biege ..it looks like all their white is like that

i personally don't like black leather and only dislike it slightly less than saddle. i had a white on beige gs and now i have a flint mica on beige ls but if i did it again i would get another white on beige ls

to each his own right ^ ^ ^

I believe black interiors were not offered on white cars in 2006.

It was a Jay Z reference in his song he says "all black everything"...I used it to title my thread and I think you may have commented (or it was someone else) and I just confused you my bad...

Don't recall ever seeing a whole lot vehicles period with that combo in my somewhat short lifetime so far. The early 90's maxima had something of the sort but the combo just wouldn't look right on an LS imo. LFA, Audi S5, or maybe even a Mini cooper but the heavenly 430, noooo!

I wanted blk with my Flint Mica color but dayum it was a hard combo to find, so i went with the Ash interior. When I talked to members in out Lexus south chapter club they say they would not go back to a blk interior, they all had their reasons such as it shows wear easy and dirt.

White/black is indeed rare on the LS I like that combo a lot though -- had it on the CLK430. I am just a black (or dark charcoal) interior guy, I guess. My '03 LS was the light tan (I forget the name) and it never felt right to me somehow. Black feels easier on my eyes and somehow I feel like its less distracting or something. I don't know what it is, but I always gravitate to black interiors.

I don't understand why lexus fall in love with beige interior, it is real difficult to keep it clean. I personally perfer gray interior, can't tell if it is dirty or not.
