Here are some pics I took at the 2011 LA Auto Show and the new RED leather seating. This is now an option along with the standard Black Alcantara & Leather and optional Alpine & Black Leather. This also features the new 19" Lexus/BBS forged wheel.

Agreed... Looks like an afterthought and cheapens the look of the car. Silver looks good though!

Wow for some reason I don't like the new wheels as much in those pictures. I feel like the 08-09 wheels still look the sportiest now.

Hey flipside, how does it look in person? It looks OK in the pictures but sometimes things don't photograph well.

even though its more economical to have the back of the seats black, I can't help but to wish the seats were all red as in the IS-F red edition.

The new wheels are spot on though. I think they are my favorite of all the years

Yeah I think a black or white stitch would have been better and red stitching on the black. The Blue is part of the F theme so I guess it has to work.

Of course everything looks better in person. The red is a welcome change to the interior, and the colors are all placed right...unlike the Terra Cotta interior from years past:

I don't like that they included all the blue stitching with the red.. they should have done red stitching or just black. It has too much going on with black, red, and blue inside. All they did was add some red leather to the normal seats.. didn't even bother finishing it off right. It would have been cool if they did a blue edition instead.

The wheels are only ok IMO. The center of the spokes is so thick it makes my eyes think the wheels are smaller than they are.

The new wheel reminds me of this:

BBS CH-R:


I think aside from the 1st wheel design, the split graphite/polished (that we don't get in the US) this is definitely my favorite.

I didnt even notice the rims. Those are on spot for oem rims. I agree ryan they do look like the CH-R. As for the red, they should have just done insert, or just stick to the black and blue theme and do blue inserts. Tell Lexus Corp . Blue Edition > Red Edition
