Tough call since color is a personal choice. I wanted grey but they could only find white with my options so I went with white. When I saw the grey I was really happy I went with white. They grey just has a different look to me I thought it was a sequoia when I first saw the LX in grey. Should add black is my favorite color but too hard to keep clean. Like I said this is just my opinion and I'm sure some will dislike white so it would be best to see one if at all possible.

Best of Luck

Default Mercury Metallic for me

Cristian,

Tough call, I also liked both these colors, but picked the Mercury because I had a gray LX-470 before and wanted something different. To me, the MM has a "classy" look and is a little lighter and more metallic than other "silver" vehicles. I got the gray interior and am very happy with my LX. I took this photo the day I picked it up (my birthday), almost two years ago, now. You will love your new LX-570.

Having owned white and black, i would pass on both. Unless you have the time to keep it clean, both colors show dirt very easily. Any shade of gray always seems to work for me. and light leather shows signs of wear sooner than dark leather. so if you wear any jeans or other materials that may affect the leather, i would also pass on the light color leather. just my thoughts!

White never goes out of style, especially when it is on a Lexus. There is nothing quite like a nice tan interior wearing a white paint job.

Goes without saying that it ages well too!

I am sure whichever you choose will catch many eyes.

Thanks to everyone for trying to help me, I've chosen black with cashmire interior and all the accessory available. Now I'm looking forward to get it.
