Yeah, a Lexus with cloth is extremely rare. My ES250 has cloth (same cloth found in the Supra of that year), and it's the only Lexus with cloth I've seen. Even the other ES250s I've seen have leather.

I once saw a US spec GS300 98-up version (it was probably an 02 or 03) with cloth interior and no sunroof...doh!!!
Who the heck would even order that in the first place?!?!?!??!

I'm thinking possibly it went on a cross-country tour?

I actually had the opportunity to purchase a Neiman Marcus ed. at Prestige Lexus in NJ, but my heart was set on finding a indigo/black combo...never did get that combo. so i settled for indigo/ecru

When we were buying our GS, we enquired about cloth because my mom especially prefers cloth to leather, but they told us it would be a special order/6-month wait!
Needless to say, we took the leather.

Yes, leather has a nice smell, but it is ice-cold in the winter until either your butt or the seat heaters warm them up, hot and sweaty in the summer.....especially in the sun....and with pure leather, can slide around in them on sharp corners....even with bolstering. The Leather-Escaine package on many IS300's helps, beacuse the Escaine is a rougher surface with more grip.
You are correct that ES's and GS's with cloth can be difficult to find. Dealers don't sell a lot of them, and they tend to make more profit on the leather.

Didn't Rod Millen make some kind of rare modified Lexus?
I though this IS430 was it?
