Default Crafted Series

Well, my local dealer got the new Crafted Series Rx F Sport in today and I spent an hour looking at it side by side to a Black Rx Fsport.

I had just about made up my mind to go with the black F sport with black interior till today. Now I'm giving series thought to the Crafted Series, it's growing on me. For some reason I'm liking the cabernet interior in the white better than the version avail in the black Rx, to me it looks more custom whereas the full cabernet seats look added on for some reason.
And I really like the way the grey sport wheels contrast with the white body, the wheels sortof disappear against the black body.

Such decisions, I've been retired for years and have little to worry about. Now the stress of this decision is freaking me out!!! I'llI have this vehicle till I die(put maybe 5000 miles per yr on my vehicle) and want to be sure I'm making the best decision..............

If neither of these give you joy, I would recommend taking a pass and get something that makes your blood boil.

Those pedals are the same ones that Lexus uses on all their sport packages, and date back to the original IS300.
Here is the wife's old IS300. Her gas pedal was different.

^^ thanks for the pic. I didn't necessarily mean you could use the same part, I meant design wise with the black circles. Not sure if Lexus changed the material but the ones in my IS are super slippery when wet. I don't like them at all.
