Kinda wished they had made it caramel and saddle tan, like the green Inspiration series cars, but with the alcantara option. I shall refrain from my longstanding rant that Lexus has no idea what Bespoke actually means... If they had still done Manhattanhenge in 2025, I would have pushed to have that interior in my Nori Green car, then switched out the steering wheel for a black one...
The rest of the red in the interior on the door panels and center console is fine. The seats are more full blown. If the center parts of the seat back and bottom were black, then that would help break up it up and balance it out. But the red and black version is more tolerable than the caramel for sure. Ferraris were bad for that for so long was well. The standard norm for so many decades was red Ferrari with a full tan interior. Never caught onto even back then as a kid seeing that. But to each their own. Don't want to keep slamming someone else's choice that they may like.
I'd concede more on the black and red interior for sure. But I guess at the end of the day, once the wife and I are seated in the seats, we wouldn't see that much red, 'cause our bodies are covering the majority of it. At least the remainder of the dash is black.

Not sure what all is involved with cross border shopping regarding cars. I know there's paperwork, inspections, etc of course. One can either use a broker direct to deal with it, or go with auto transport companies that do their own brokerage for their clients. Either way will add costs for sure. Not sure how much, but maybe it's time to ask and see if it's worth it.
Patience grasshopper, I keep telling myself.
before 2026 i used to always see a few LC's for sale in the vancouver area (craigslist, marketplace). Nowadays i hardly see any. I guess people are squirrelling them away, hoping to protect their investments.

can a US car be imported into Canada. Years back I bought a Canadian Porsche into CA. Had to do a special smog check and letter from Porsche about emissions and a few extra forms that the MB dealer dealt with...dont think I would do it again.

California is a nightmare to bring a vehicle into from just about anywhere. I've known people who brought a US car to Canada and registered it but I dunno the costs involved.
