Saw this on www.arabwheels.net site.

Criollo (suggesting the finest variety of cacao)

Criollo is based on a brown color reminiscent of that seen at Luxury hotels.


Let us know if your console has the wood-grain as in this photo.

Nice! Hard to tell from that picture, but is it similar to our Parchment? The doors and dash look darker, but it could just be that picture.

Note on the side of the passenger seat all the way at the bottom of the picture the controls for the seat, a'la the LS.

Default Criollo Interior Pictures

Picked up the car last night. Took some pics today.

I would be surprised if this color is not offered in the US under a different name!

Usually most market excluding US and Japan get fewer options and/or colors.

Hope the pictures help you get a clear picture of the color in reality

Looks nice, but hard to keep clean. I really like the extra wood accents that aren't available here.

Thanks

That's the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw this interior..."hard to keep clean"

I thought about it more and realized that most of the interior (like carpet, mats, doors) is actually dark except the insides of the seats. I had a Panamera with full cream interior and that was a nightmare as far as keeping clean.

Lexus is smart so that only about 20% of the interior is cream but still gives a luxurious look.

It also makes an entry level Lexus look more upscale.

Since I will not be having passengers normally, I think wiping the driver's seat once a week will help keep them looking good

Hey John

Which console pieces are you talking about?

Could you mark those in a picture and post it on here?

By the way, the Doha specs will most likely be same as Dubai specs so your brother-in-law might be able to get them from the Lexus dealer there as well.

Alternatively, if you want, I can find out for your from the dealer here!

It would be the two pieces highlighted in red.

In the U.S. ours are black.

Perhaps your Lexus parts guy could get you the 2 part numbers.

Thanks,

John

Wow, I love that! That interior is not offered in the US, I like that way better than the parchment. Much easier to keep clean than the parchment.

The wood on the console adds a lot too. What a shame we can't get that here! Much more upscale looking.
