I happen to like the saddle for the SC430 & the LS430 too, but it may be too "orange" for some, especially most LS buyers tend to be more conservative with their choices . . .
on the sc430 i never really hate it, just felt strong contrast in the beginning and of course now i like it

i have only seen saddle interior in gs once (no ls), and honestly i wasn't too impressed

The only time I ever saw the saddle interior in a LS430 is in the Auto Show, I think it's pretty nice, of course they are more common on the SC430, but in the 2GS, it's only available with the sports edition with black exterior I think.

My local dealership had a Saddle interior LS430. It was sittin outside waiting to be picked up. Dark grey exterior (Flint Mica I think they called it??) and Saddle leather interior. It was done right. All black dash, carpet, headlining, and saddle seats only. I believe it was a special order. The dealership said it was only an option on LS430's for the 2004 model year.

The one I saw has a grayish brown metallic paint(forgotten the official name), it's a perfect match for the Saddle interior IMO

Maybe you guys will get Glacier Frost for the refresh We already have that up here together with the Truffle Mica for the 460 which they make exclusive to the 600hL Launch Edition in the US.
I actually expect them to take away some color choices for Canada in the coming years as they determine which ones are the least popular

It looks like a red orange.It doesn't even match the carpet.If it would have been a deep red it would probably look good.

I think a dark maroon red would work much better for a large size luxury car than bright red.

The carpet looks real nice but the woodgrain color should have been changed also.
