I really have to see pictures with a lot more details of the interior before I can decide whether it's hot for this car. A well executed red interior can be nice though, but mostly for sports cars . . .

Any more pics BTW ?

Sorry, this interior gets a NAY from me, too gawdy for this car, the red leather doesn't look like a good match with the interior as shown.

Rims are nice though, body kit also not bad.

Red leather interior is an awesome idea. However the execution isnt that great. IMO it needs more black to break up all of that red. Plus the light grey roof lining doesnt match IMO.

A red leather interior should be reserved for the IS-series and the SC-series.

But it does bring up a serious problem with Lexus (as many other people and I have stated countless times now) as they do not offer many interior color choices. I think the Saddle leather color should be offered on the LS and would probably be a better fit than red.

I agree, I always prefer red & black 2-tone leather seats instead of all red.

Saddle & the camel available for the SC430 should work well with the LS too.

Yup, especially for the cabin of a large 4 door sedan, it's just way too much, it might be better for a small 2-seater . . .

Thanks for the pictures

Wow, the aftermarket support is very strong for the ls460 vs the 430.

This red is just too blinding-I think my eyes would get tired from it

Another vote for the saddle interior, which isn't even available for the 460?

Maybe not enough people ordered the saddle for the LS430, they are quite rare. Knowing how Lexus usually operates, if not enough people choose it, they would rather just take that option away rather than try to give people more choices.

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 . . .

After closer inspection I believe this is a After Market Job!!!! The Grey Roof and Light wood Center console ..... Screams Grey Interior!!!! I think he/she had the Steering Wheel Replaced, the entire lower Interior done in Red with Black Highlight ( Check the Doors out)He/she even went so far as to get the Interior carpeting done in Red. Plus the last finishing touch of matching the Center ( Shift Area ) console to the steering wheel........

If that wasn't a Flash on the right picture that seat almost looks like saddle Leather.

Anybody else??
