For those that have it, if you could do it over again would you still get it and why or why not?

For those that don't have it, why not?

Thanks

Yes, I would get it again. It's not as "red" as it is shown on the Lexus website. More of a rust color to me. And cabernet is not available on any models other than F-Sport making it more unique. Cabernet interior in Riviera red exterior might be a little much though.

Nothing wrong with Flaxen and Black interiors either depending on what the exterior color is.

Wait a minute, there are other interior colors besides Cabernet?

We love it, it is a beautiful color. For over 2 decades we have wanted a really nice red interior on the GS and finally there is one. The compliments are endless on the interior.

I'm coming up on my one year anniversary, and I' still love the color. Not bored at all.

Wasn't to sure about getting it, guess what I don't regret it but I do still have the feeling I should have gotten it, and also my GF said no bueno so didn't feel like arguing over color. I still have second thoughts about it though.

I wouldnt change a thing.

Yeah, it's called Flaxen.
I think Carbenet is the best color for F Sport. I saw Flaxen first, then the aluminum on F Sport turned me off (sorry it's personal choice) so I didn't even look further into another F Sport. If I had seen Carbenet that day, I might have ended with an F Sport. Not that I'm complaining about my luxury though.

I ordered flaxen on my gs cabernet is nice but I would be worried about residual value in 3-5 years when I want to sell it. Also by then what will the drivers seat look like? What does worn red leather look like?

Aren't you getting luxury? I thought Carb was only available on F Sport. Anyway, flaxen is really nice with the espresso IMO. One thing though it seems to show/catch wear more than usual. I one day looked at the drivers seat a few months after I got it and was surprised how old it looked. Got a bottle of Lexol (thanks d) rubbed it off and it was back like new.

LexusVet

yes your right sorry for the confusion. I was originaly looking at f sport SP with cab or flax, but once i decided against the cab I just totally jumped to the lux model. I heard about the wear on the flaxen I purchased the leather master protectant as per another thread anxious to use it once my car comes in.

i didn't get cabernet because it seemed too bmw 3 series for me, end of day, it's still red, and red has been done in cars for a while now.

flaxen was love at first site for me, it's generally a newer interior color, and i really love the obsidian and flaxen contrast, very very classy and i always get compliments when somebody sits in the car.

I got black because less maint. And i like black

I love the flaxen, but prefer the cabernet personally. Had the cabernet come on the luxury I would have gotten that.

I too think the flaxen looks much better with the wood than the metal trim.

i would have picked any interior over black. i've had black interior in all my cars... needed a change and CAB was in the car i wanted. the CAB interior is sexy.
