I have the light grey interior on my RX330 which I think is similar to the other grey Lexus interiors. My first choice was black but at my dealer it would have been a 3 month special order. Anyway, I like the looks (Still prefer black) but it does show dirt. You definately have to keep it clean as it doesn't really hide any dirt.

so if you could do it over, you would pick black?

Yes. Black is always my first choice. I don't mind my grey because a lot of the interior is black like the dash, top part of the door panels, steering wheel and such. This is my wifes car so it wasn't worth the 3-4 month wait for the black. If it were my car though i would have gotten the black.

I would say the blacl/light grey interior has a nice classy look, while the black is more sporty. I always lean toward sport.

Yeah black is the best color. Black doesn't get dirty looking like the other colors, it's sporty, which is a must, and the color of the wood that comes with the black interior is beautiful.

i would pick ivory because or some reason, in a car interior i like light colors because it brings out the luxury side of it, but if the gs came in saddle interior like the one in the sportdesign gs, LS430, and SC430. i would most definetly pick that, to bad lexus didnt make that an option, that would be hott in the GS

Black. I had the slate (grey) interior on my previous Lex and had some work to do to keep it clean; even so, the seat base picked up shoe scuff marks which were never completely eradicated. If Lexus would use a significantly darker grey, I'd be tempted.

Ivory on my very first Lex plus both of the wife's RXs. It looks quite classy; it is also a royal pain to keep clean.

Blackblackblack, since I'd rather drive than clean.

this is probably like the ivory being offered now. It's held up very well and while needed a cleaning now it has a nice patina. We'll probably get the same color on the Gen 3

Then the GS isn't for you.

To each their own, but I did not like gray at all! The car I drove was grey interior and the black wood did nothing for the car! . Maybe it was because it was dark out, but even at that it looked odd . However, lexus' ivory and golden birdseye maple is beautiful in my beloved GX so I might just go down that road again . Black looks sharp from pics, but I love giving my cars an airy-open/at the beach feel which is done best with ivory.

black is mine to be. Grey (ash) was not good.

just got my 06gs friday night and couldn't be happier. almost went with gray just for the black wood but this car just looks perfect with black. the flint mica looks amazing as well. same flint mica as the ls i think.

Flint Mica code is 1E0, while the IS offers "Graphite Gray Pearl" with code 1C6. It has much stronger metalflake as well as being slightly darker.
