I love the leather in my '07 IS 250. BMW standard crap leather really really sucks. i don't care if it lasts for 50 years. I won't have the car in 50 years.

You might want to check the detailing section or search for a better cleaner/conditioner....it might help.

uhh...semi analine leather was never available on the IS.

semi analine leather is an option based item, you even need to pay more for it on the LS and the ES, the only two sedans with this available option

so the leather you have in your 2007 IS is the same as the 2008 IS which is the premium standard lexus leather

I am going to have to dissagree with you, my vehicle has the Semi Annaline leather and it says so in the 2007 brochure as well as my invoice.

I'm thinking......American flag painted, jewel encrusted dinosaur clone skin.

Don't worry, we'll have a genetically engineered dinosaur clones in the next few years.

does it say so under the options portion of your window sticker?or is it a standard feature.

if it was an option, then i guess im partly wrong. they no longer have it on the lexus website, but im sure a majority of your 2007s have the basic leather, unless you bought the top of the line IS

The reason it is no longer on the web-site is because the 2008's no longer have this leather material. All the 2006 and 2007 IS X50's with the leather option (basically all in US market).

Anything is possible and thanks for putting iitelligent thought into this based on model segregation. I would imagine your 2506mt has semi annaline and I was under the impression all the 2006-2007 regardless of base model had this particular leather.
