Exclamation Dear Lexus..please bring red leather to the LS

Why Japan but not us? Would love to see this option espeically on the F-sport. I remember the pre-spindle grill had some awesome options, here are the current red ones. Thanks Phil.

I think its looks nice but not in a car like the LS, S class, or 7 series . Its a bit more appropriate ,imho, in a GS, 3 series, or IS. Something more sporty

Ya i agree it is a little too much in a big car like this, but as like a model for the entire LS lineup, that red/red setup is killer sexy.

why only in Japan??? that's the question i've been asking myself since i saw the L-Customization for the LS. love the red but for an LS i'd tone it down to a Dark Blue/ Deep Burgundy combo, with the SP exterior of course.

Patience is the key my friends. Over here in the UK the RX F sport was only available with black leather with white perforations. The 2014 model RX F Sport is available with the red interior so Im sure itll also be available in the US too when the 2014 models roll out.

Lexus are a bit slow on this and seem to add options after the model initially comes out. I expect the red leather to be only available on the LS F sport though.

It's because they know the market for it here in the US is small. So they won't risk sending them here.

If you want it like that cash out and get it done. Dont rely on Lexus to do it for you. They probably mark up the price a lot for those interiors
