Default 2021 ES Bamboo dead

I looked at the new ES for 2021 on the website and bamboo is gone as an option.

I don't think it was a popular appearance option. In the 2½ years I've been on this ES board, I think it was mentioned once.

I had the bamboo in my last RX as well as our 2015 ES. I liked it. Frankly, I liked it better than the black in my current ES, which doesn't even look like wood. I'm not personally a fan of dark interiors. Just goes to show, we all have different tastes.

Of course. Me personally, I hate wood of any type in any car. My FSport has none of it

Mercedes' matte/porous wood would beg to differ - so much more elegant than the glossy one in Lexus' lineup.

Just turned in our 2018 ES300h lease 4 months early to get a 2020 ES300h.
Couple of factors involved: 1) We liked the Bamboo in both the 2014 and 2018's
2) Lexus went with the Germans pricing philosophy and will be charging extra
for the Eminent White color in 2021. 3) They sent me the Payment Waiver for
up to 4 free months so it was cheap and easy to do early.

Congrats on your new wheels! We made the same move from a 6th generation to a 7th gen ESh last year and are really enjoying the update, so I’m sure you will as well. So, Chateau with Bamboo trim?

The bamboo was the reason my wife picked ours. She loves it. I question longevity, but hey, it allowed me to get out of SUV and back to a smooth luxury ride. Next go round I will lose, and she will get an SUV, and the "Bamboo" es will become mine. Yes, I spoil my wife (of 29 years as of 9/1)

Ciao`

I didn't want the bamboo trim but in order to get the Atomic Silver with the coffee colored seats ( I can't remember the name) it was in there. No way I'd special order so take it or leave it.
I took it and have no regrets...
