Are these cloth?

That interior looks like a custom job... The baby blue insert in the middle of the seat looks to be suede...

Nope, that is the stock stuff and it is not suede.

Default Are you sure?

Are you guys sure you could get cloth here in the US? Doesn't make sense to me. I though leather was STD equip here. I can understand the cloth in a Toyota Aristo, but not the Lex.

I will say that right hand drive is cool though.

I just checked my 98 GS brochure. Yes, it was avail with cloth! Wow! Personally, I don't care for it, but it is unique, I guess. I wonder how many were built like that.

I feel so educated after countless hours on CL.....

No. I was just pointing out that having something rare might be uniqe but not always in a good way. The word uniqe is usually used in a positive context. Not meaning that the car actually have 15 inch rims.

Wow...a year and 9 months later I post again!

I ended up getting a 350Z...the couple GS300's I test drove made horrible noises and the steering was crap. They offered to fix but I didn't want a car that needed to be fixed right way.

My '03 Touring Z in Super Black

I almost got a 350z untill i test drove one...

Horrible blind spots
Too revy (didnt feel smooth unless WOT)
too small
Too much money to make fast

And when my friend in his stock GS4 on 20" wheels raced a stock 350z and won... I was sold on the GS4..Big and luxury and quick also.

Nice car tho
