Default GS350 White leather?

So I've seen a picture of a GS350 with white leather, as a huge fan of white leather I would of chose it over the black I have now in a heartbeat. However, on the Lexus website there is no white.

The closest color they have to white is a light grey. I have it and worried a little that it may be too light, but it has been durable so far and there has been no transfer of color from my jeans or other clothes.

I have an Acura MDX with tan seats and it gets color transfers from jeans all the time...hate that.

That's not white.

It's either Ecru or Cashmere. Either way, they get dirty...really fast.

Most likely a middle east part of the world color. The second picture has buttons on the upper driver's seat side. Definitely not a US car.Try looking at Lexus of South Africa or Dubai.

The top and bottom pics aren't the same car. The top is left-side drive, but the bottom is right-side drive.

It's a real shame that Lexus doesn't offer the GS with white leather. I think white leather gives a car a luxurious feel since it's so different, plus not many people actually have white leather everyone mostly gets black.

That interior will require all day cleaning everyday. It'll get dirty in no time, especially jeans stains. Even my Cabernet still gets stained.

Its not that bad. My 2010 ES had parchment leather, not that light but still pretty light. The light grey on my LS is very light too.

I had a light white colour in my M5 before switiching to a 2015 GS350 Sport AWD and would have liked the 'executive pimp' look white on white colour combination I had previous. Really looked sharp and was professionally cleaned every 18 months without issues for a couple hundred bucks. Shame all we get in Canada is the dark grey and occassionally dark brown. Even the red/black combo would look nice.

Yeah looks like Ecru. I think it looks luxurious. Second picture looks like it's from Japan or left side country. You can see the two extra control buttons and steering wheel on the right side. I find those extra control buttons really handy when I had the LS.
