I have a sage green IS with the cashmere interior... and it is very supple and luxurious.

Problem is, it is showing wear all over the place... for some reason, the seats are getting blue marks from wearing blue jeans in the car. I think the leather is super pourous and is just taking in.

We would like the white with black for a change... and I think black interios look just as hot as the cashmere does - if maintained appropriately. Plus, when you tint the windows to legal limit, they will actually look a bit darker.

To each his own... for us... cashmere - been there, done that. We'd like a change.

And the gray is another option, but black is our first choice.

Not a fan of Cashmere or any Tan interior Lexus has put in their cars in the last 5 years. White w/Black is definitely my favorite.

There was an 07 GS350 on Auto Trader in the SD area that sold not too long ago. it was a special order NAV/ML Car w/PA which was Starfire w/Black interior.

The guy said it had a $51k MSRP. Was selling for $47.9 I believe. Changed the terms around to assume lease of $350/mo first then when I inquired back, he said in order to save on sales tax it was required to take over the lease first then purchase the car. The guy didn't answer my questions about the lease terms, the lease company and a few basic questions. The sale seemed too good to be true. But for the new owner if there is one, he/she is lucky to have a rare combo.

ok.......grey with black suede inserts isn't white with black interior from the manufacturer, man you're derailing all over the place......if you're trying to show off the suede...where's the interior shots? cause the exterior isn't much to look at...it's just a white gs, nothing special

I was in the market for a Starfire Pearl on Black interior. My dealer showed me a list of builds they had and they didn't have this combination available, even though the brochure shows they build them in this combination. I had to settle for the Starfire Peal on Cashmere combination, nonetheless I love my car!!

For 18 years, this always happens. Lexus offers white/black leather combo the first year or two but there never is demand for it (special orders) and dealers just order white/beige most of the time.

Its rare to have.
2nd gen ES
3rd gen GS 400
3rd gen LS 430/4th gen LS 460
3rd gen GS
1/2nd gen IS

Only offer that color. And its rare to see it.
