i like how it looks, because it looks like real wood.
High grade bamboo flooring is a proven product for it's strength & durability compared to hardwood floors, they sure will be strong enough to be used as trims in a car, but we are getting off topic here.
Anyway, I think those are just blondish wood trim, not bamboo ...

Bamboo is an attractive alternative for flooring because of its physical similarities to hardwoods. Bamboo floor manufacturers and sellers promote its strength, durability as well as resistance to insects and moisture while having the added benefit of being eco friendly. The hardness of bamboo ranges from 1180 (carbonized horizontal) to around 1380 (natural) using the Janka hardness test versus red oak (1290), white oak (1360), rock maple (1450), and hickory (1820),Brazilian Cherry / Jatoba (2350), (the higher the number the harder the material).[1]

Who ever said Lexus are boring ?


I want to start seeing more of the bigger 19 inch wheels like in the press shots. On the past model you would rarely see the bigger optioned wheels most GS I saw has the smaller wheels
