Default If only I were rich...

Just a random post, but our second LS 600hL arrived at the Southern Area Office today, and accompanying it on the truck was a silver CLK 63 Black Series. Sorry, no digital camera but they are unloading both right now!

The 600hL is truffle mica with Alabaster leather and dark wood trim, absoutely beautiful! I'll bring a digicam to work tomorrow and snap a few pics of anyone wants. If not, I won't bother.

These pictures are terrible, none of the lights in the shop were on when I took them so the quality is terrible and I'll try to get better ones tomorrow.

The CLK left with the truck, but the LS is here.

The car we have actually has a different interior from the one above. I forgot my digital camera but i did snap a few pics on my phone, and will see if i can borrow someone's camera at work and snap a few. If not, I'll just put the pics up on monday.

Trust me though, this car is KILLER!

I think only the alabaster interior with the full leather dash comes with the all black dash ? (& the top half of the doors too)
If it's the vinyl, then the dash & the upper part of the doors are gray ? I don't think all LS600hL's come with the full leather dash as standard.

The entire dash is leather, but only the top of the dash and the top of the doors are dark colored- like a gray color. I wish I had brought my camera today

We also have a white LS 600hL, so I will snap a few pictures of both.

This is the alabaster interior with vinyl dash in gray with the light color on the lower part, there's no visible outline for the passenger side airbag :


This is the alabaster interior with full leather dash in black, including the lowerhalf/glovebox area. You can see the outline of the passenger side airbag & the lines on the dash where the leather stitchings are. Of course, the steering wheel is black instead of gray too to match the dash :


I don't have all the factual details, but seems like all the pics I've seen of the full leather dash are all black like the second one, but I haven't yet seen a gray dash with leather stitching & passenger side airbag outline with a light color glovebox/lower half as the color scheme of the top picture ?? Or maybe they make another different scheme for the Launch edition ?? So I look forward to see your pics, maybe it's a color scheme I've never seen yet
