Default Black interior...

I am convinced that I saw a new IS with a completely black interior during my recent trip to a dealer. However, most new IS cars with black interior are not entirely black. Do you need to purchase a special package to get all black?

I got the black interior on mine, and it is not all black. The headliner is a cream color.

Other than some silver (and on the luxury package, wood) accents, the black interior is all black.

It's the other interior choices that have a two-tone look (e.g., the steering wheel is always black)

EDIT: As Payam pointed out, the headliner on my car is a cream color.

I ordered mine with black headliner.
The dealer did not know if the factory would honor the order but we will see in Feb.

No. there's no such thing. If you look at the previous IS300, the all black interior has a light gray headliner like all other black interior Toyota/Lexus models have. not cream.

Use carpet foam (woolite or the generic safeway brand) and a toothbrush.

Wait until the summer and you would wish your entire car (in/out) was cream!

nope, not at all. my last vehicle was black interior and it wasn't that bad. sure the leather gets hot but all cars in kansas city get hot inside in the summertime. at least the is350 has cooler seats and auto-open all windows/sunroof.
