I dont't like the saddle colour myself either.
We are grateful that they are rare

The 2004 & 2005 LS430 sales brochures listed the following interiors available with Briarwood Pearl:

Cashmere
Ecru*
Saddle*
Black*

* Requires CL or UL option selections

In 2006, the only interior options were:

Cashmere
Ecru*

 

If this was black or white exterior... I'd be driving 2 LS430s...

 

I really like the saddle interior, but my wife thinks it is too orange. Also, though it was available with a number of exterior colors, I've mainly seen it in black cars.

 

I'm not sure, but I think the Saddle was only available in a saddle/black trim, so there wasn't a saddle/brown interior trim. So, black itself interior was only then available on certain exterior colors.

The color is defnitely a hate or love color. I personally like the uniqueness... but I can see how it can be seen as too "orange." The BMW saddle definitely has a better darkness or brown to it.

 

nice find....i love that color.........my neighbor has that color.....not the interior though

 

like it. looks different

 

If I purchased that, I would have the wood interior professionally painted black. So it would look like black wood. That definitely make the interior look a lot better and give it a better contrast.

 

Interesting car - I love the Briarwood color. Not sure about saddle interior but it is hard to get a realistic impression because the color tone and saturation is so bad in those pics.

 

I like the interior color b/c it's pretty rare and has pretty nice contrast. My favorite interiors are ecru and black, followed by ash and saddle. Not a huge fan of the exterior though.
