Default Has anyone gotten the Stratus Gray Leather interior?

All I see is all red and black interiors out there on the F Sports. I always thought light interiors look more lux than darker colors.


Did anyone get their F Sport with Stratus Gray interior?

If so, please post some pics... Lexus only shows one pic in the picture gallery and not much comes up when you google images.

Thanks guys!

The camera makes it look light but not that lite in person.

Thank you both for posting... this must be like the only picture out there of this "elusive" color LOL

Yes, I think the lighting and camera filter make it appear lighter than what it is... however, it's far more attractive IMO than that awful pasty yellow parchment interior in the base models.

Wished Lexus or others posted more pics to really appreciate the cabin.... I do like the amazingly modern lux feel the contrast provides between the black headliner, flooring and seat backs over the all black interior.

I don't think we have the option of the Stratus Grey here in Canada.
How much darker is it in person? Would the dye from blue jeans rubbing off on it be a problem?

I have the light gray leather in my 3RX, which is in the same ball park as the Stratus Gray in the 4RX. Yes, blue jean dye does transfer on to them, but it's really quite easy to clean off. I don't see it as that big of a deal. I'd get the light gray again without much thought.

Totes agree!

I had light gray leather in my first 2004 RX... Yes, color from your clothing does transfer onto the seats over time. All that means is that you need to maintain them once per week. I then switched to black leather on my 2010 RX. It really is the best color to maintain its appearance. I still cleaned it just as often as I did when I had my gray interior though.

I am now on my 3rd RX... Went back to gray leather. Makes the car feel and look more modern, expensive and luxurious IMO. Can't wait for it to finally arrive. Have been waiting since January.

Can you please share with us what products and technique do you use that works the best at removing stains from the leather?

Default Stratus Gray F Sport Photos

A buddy of mine was able to find great photos of a Stratus Gray F Sport for me, so I am sharing them with the group:

Those are great pics and that is a nice color combo. Does anyone know if they are selling that grey combo interior with the white exterior with the fspoort (vs having to order it special)?

I had a tough time finding the gray with Silver Lining and had to special order it. Plus, I want a fully loaded F Sport. All that's out there is a bunch of red interiors.

Ultra white and stratus gray will be really sexy and unique in a sense too. Special order will be the way to go for you.

Go for it!

This is eactly what my car looks like. It's not clear to me how much of it, if any, is real leather.
