Just for information for those who has never seen a "LS430" with cloth interior.

The car in the pic is a Celsior pre-facelift grade "C" with air suspension (F31). As appears, air suspension was not bundled with wood steering wheel, that came with the "F-package" I think.

All grades of the Celsior F30/31 could be ordered with cloth seats in one of two colours: light grey as shown or beige.

That looks really weird. I've seen LS400's, SC300's and ES300's with cloth seats but never an LS430 or any newer Lexus for that matter.

that looks really comfortable, but I still love the leather

Nice alternative to folks who prefer cloth, or don't like "sticky" leather. Are those seats heated/cooled too? It looks like the UL package buttons over the gear shifter, but the rear doesn't have the radio controls or cooler box.

maybe thats a toyota celsior? they might have the leather as a option.

The C grade came with air suspension and some of the buttons over the gear shifter will be for that. Much of the stuff for the UL package (rear radio controls and cooler box) was part of the F-package upgrade for the C grade.

Also, this car does not have any of the turn controls for heated/cooled seats.

The shown seats are from a JDM third generation Celsior. All the standard grades (A, B and C) could be ordered with either cloth or leather.

As the Lexus LS 430 was exported to many countries cloth seats may have been an option or standard in some countries, however, I have no information in that respect.

Hideous! Reminds me of Post WWII when all cars had flannel upholstery with either tan or gray in color. I remember my Dad's 1949 Cadillac (first year of tail fins) had that type of upholstery and at that time, Cadillac was the luxury standard of the world.

Thumbs down for me.

I like it.

I also like the much more plush floor mats the Celsior seems to get...

There's an old man that drives a white 04+ LS430 with cloth interior at my gym. It doesn't have navi either. I'm secretly jealous because I wish my car was white.

I wonder what he thinks of my car.
