Default white gold only comes with black interior for 2004

Check out the website
they give you less selection on interior choice depending on exterior color

Default Less Ecru???

So my black/ecru is out of production?

So what was so wrong with that?

Is it now a collectors' item?

Default Interior choices

Print out page 15 of the brochure and you can see most options are the same as 2003. I planned to order a Indigo Ink/Black 2004 and was assured it would be available, but it's no longer an option. Just can't take the ecru or baseball glove orange interiors. Hello 2005.

Maybe it has to do with the lessening demand of the car itself...

I don't know about demand, Xero, but it sure makes their planning a hell of a lot easier and their manufacturing lines more efficient - just the way it did when they made those orginal three "options" mandatory.

I'd like to rant here, but I'll spare y'all. (I can say "y'all" because I have a friend who lives in Georgia and she gave me permission)

I said less demand because of the stats reported here:

When there's less demand they can't afford to maintain too many options.

According to the e-brochure, the following interiors are available:

http://www.lexus.com/assets/models/e...SC_Page_15.pdf

Ecru, Saddle, & Black

Black Onyx
Millenium Silver
Absolutely Red
White Gold Crystal

Ecru & Saddle Only
Indigo Ink Pearl
Midnight Pine Pearl
Egyptian Sand Pearl

Ecru Only
Twilight Amethyst Pearl

This seems pretty similar to last year, but with black leather no longer available with Indigo, and black leather now available on the White Gold.
