There were a few packages that gave you matte wood like the 2011 touring package but I don't think any Touring models had Mark Levinson because I have never seen one with ML. There was a 2012 with Topaz leather trim and matte trim too. It looks like some AWD models also offered matte wood trim too where matte was not available on RWD models, I have never seen or heard of a RWD LS long wheel base or with allabaster with matte wood trim but have seen a few AWD models with it.

I won't deal with people who play those games.

I would love that car, matte, long wheelbase, no air suspension, but I don't want AWD.

Hello and congrats on your Lexus.

I also have the alibaster and matte in my 2010 460 L. The wood finish reminds of very nice furniture.

Do do be careful if you wear blue jeans a lot because the dye will come off. However, I use Mcguiers as a quick clean and protection and have used the woolite and water (5 to 1) combo to do some cleaning of the leather as well.

I hope you enjoy your new car and have many happy miles.

Best,

Cubby

Try a product called Ultima Interior Shampoo gel for dye transfer...

Is the alabaster leather a lighter color than Parchment? It seems like the same to me.

I haven't seen the parchment interior, but alabaster does seem lighter.

I’ve the parchment interior. The alabaster is definitely a lighter shade.

Alabaster is a good bit lighter than parchment. It’s almost white.
