Default Unique LX 570 interior color combo

I think this is only for the Middle East?











I really like the spindle grille on the big LX.










the Middle East also gets paddle shifters on the LX






'13 LC200

Wow, I didn't know they came in that color for the LX. Looks almost like the color in BMW's.

Looks good, they offered a similar color on the Tundra.

I love saddle leather.

Should be offered more often.

The SC430 did it well...

Problem is.....in that color, the leather doesn't seem to have enough contrast with the wood paneling. But I admit it's a nice leather color.

As you can tell, the SC's back seat is virtually useless. They (probably) should have made it a two-seater.

Yeah haven't seen that saddle in the LX only the RX, though we do have a IS250 on the lot with that interior color save for it has black leather on the sides

They should do some NM or PB version of the LX here like the SC430 had.

This color is very popular in the Middle East, it's been 3 years (I think) on being an option with the LX. It has been posted in the LX570 forum before.

I like it, but it would be MUCH nicer if it was grey wood IMO.

I had a 90 Seville STS with that color interior, only everything was that sort of brown color. Loved the color and the woodgrain, hated the digital readouts on the dash.

Isnt' that the Flaxen color we get with the new GS and upcoming IS? If so, it's been around for a bit.

My 2011 Acura MDX Advance is that color combination with white exterior. Acura calls it Umber. Umber is only available with white and black exterior color. I think it looks great. I first saw the color several years ago on a buddy's BMW 530. BMW called it Auburn at the time.

When we were shopping for the ES300h for my wife, the dealer had a GS on the floor with this color. We asked, but it is not available on the ES.

I don't think this is the same as the flaxen on the 4GS. This seems richer, it stands out much more and is very strong! I think it would look better if the headlining was black instead of grey!
