What you can do is call the 800# for Lexus, and ask for a build sheet--they will email you a pdf showing exactly what the car is....good luck!

In 5 years, I've seen one Briarwood listed and have seen just one in person. Would have bought but the dealer bought at auction and spent thousands fixing it. Figured it would be trouble down the line.

LOL doesn't look like Cypress Pearl is the "go to" color. I bought mine the day it listed at a Sacramento CA dealer. There was a long line of people that wanted to buy it. In 5 years, I've seen plenty of black/white/silver/gold LS's. Several Cypress Pearls. More Flint Mica's (a good looking color). One Blue Onyx. One Briarwood (looks this is a love it or hate it color).

I see a Blue Onyx LS regularly and it is beautiful! I like the Burgundy too.
I haven't seen too many Briarwoods but also like them for a lighter color.
Ecru looks incredible but way too high maintenance for me. I prefer a black interior. Saddle is cool but not sure if long term I would like the constant orange interior.

As much as the pearl paints are gonna git ya whenever you do something related to color (I just replaced my drip molding and to me it actually doesn't match even though the part is 072, maybe a body man is gonna spot the rail was replaced, prolly nobody else), I still like them. Meaning, give me a new Audi A8L, and I'll take it in a white pearl. But the cashmere/ivory interior is boring (at least the ivory cupholder is common and I've seen it for $92 on eBay).....admittedly

I have to admit, in my mind my favorite interiors are red leather, and gray leather. I don't really like black leather (2/4 of our cars have it), just because it's common.
But the saddle really grows on me at least, when I see it! Last year, I had two BMW loaner cars for a long term (now I see the class action is being finalized not just for BMW, but Toyota, Mazda, Honda). The first car was flat black with black leather, the worst imho. The second car was black metallic, with saddle. Not only was the second car loaded with adaptive LED and blah blah blah, but the saddle interior really grew on me, I actually didn't want to give that car back (we're talking about over 4 mos. with them, it's like you really get used to them).

Do you have a leather dash on your CL? That's what I would like to have next, if there ever is a next....

I agree, I never expected to see this combo in the 3rd gen, but after finding this one I have seen several and 2 for sale, but not worth the price or had frame damage.
