Default IS350 - Black or Gray Interior?

A dealer has quoted a very good deal for Smoky Granite with Black Interior. I liked the combination.

But I saw another Smokey Granite with Gray Interior at a different dealer. And it looked nice in a different way. I liked it, but I couldn't help think it looked a little less together. But since the two cars wern't side-by-side....I'm now confused.

The gray seems lighter/cooler. The black, more intimate.

I appreciate that most of you have seen both combinations a lot. I'd appreciate any opinions which way to go.

I know, I know, it's a personal opinion and I should choose what I like.

I guess I just want to hear how some of you would choose and why.

Thank you.

i have a smokey granite mica color with black interior, the only problem is, is that it does get a lil bit more dirtier than a grey color imo but i still think its worth it :P... so BLACK FTW

gray. it's the reason I chose my car over the others on the lot. It's not as common as black and won't get as hot.

But the best part is the contrast with the black plastic trim on the door creates a nice two tone effect.

It will give you a nice contrast from the outside to inside of the vehicle. Not too over the top though.

I have gray, but I would've gotten black if it was available (which it isn't). Just tint the windows to keep out the heat.

Oh and welcome to Club Lexus!

There's a saying "Once you go black, you'd never go back."
