Longtime LC lurker
I mean, you can still order replacement panels for the seats, so in theory if the red/black is too much for you, you could switch the seats for all-black, without too much trouble. Not free, of course, but from recollection nor is it too wildly expensive. I have the full caramel interior and I'll admit, it can take a little getting used to. 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...
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.
Thanks anyways NickL.Yes, I'm in Canada. And it's made it much harder, as there doesn't seem to be too many of these around too often, either for sale or just out there driving. Not very common vehicle to see, let alone to see for sale. Especially with the 3-part criteria that I have. Less of them up here than down there, border wise.
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.

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.
