Talking The Eagle has landed.

Got a call today that the new LS was in and ready - a day earlier than expected, and the windows were already tinted.

Light was fading fast, but I did manage a couple of quickie (and low quality) shots:

The color is Smoky Granite Mica and the interior is Alabaster. The interior is a little lighter than I actually expected, but it's cool - I like light interiors. And the Cashmere comes with a black dash if I remember correctly, and I like the cocoa-colored one better ... less contrast.

The car is a SWB, with ML/Nav/Advanced Parking/Comfort Pkg./Power door and trunk closers. As a bonus, the car came with the Lexus all-weather mats (a $150 value). I guess it's because it came from Wichita, KS, and they must order all of them with foul-weather mats up there.

Anyway - now I need to read the manuals. Sheesh.

Congratulations, very nice.

And the dark mats are much easier to keep clean.

good luck with your new ride, I have the black with Cashmere the dash is cocoa colored, I really like the Alabaster but with two kids I was worried about keeping it clean, the tan is hard enough lol, enjoy many safe miles.

Thanks, everyone.

Ironhorse .... NOW you tell me! LOL. I got the idea somewhere that Cashmere came with a black dash. Oh, well - at least the wife says she likes the Alabaster, and after all it's not terribly common. In fact, they had to go all the way to Kansas to find one and trucked it back to Texas just for me.
