Default Poll: Lexus Ls460. Black or White?

Hi I'm trading in my 07 gs350 this week. Black on black...for an LS460. I can't decide weather to stick with black or try something different and get a white car. I've owned 7 cars now and they have all been black. What do y'all think looks better? Black or white?

I think the white looks a little more classy and less sporty. My LS is silver.

My vote is for changing it up and go with a White (Starfire Pearl) 460.

I'm very biased, because any time that I have the opportunity, I ALWAYS buy black with black leather. No color combination has ever looked better to me, and that's what I have on my LS. That said, I love the white exterior. My problem with the white exterior is that it always seems to come with that same puke-inducing "tan" leather, which I personally find offensive and boring! Now, if Lexus could produce a white exterior with black leather, I would be in heaven and purchase it tomorrow!

After having black, silver and white cars, I really like the Matador Red Mica. It's a very sporty look.

I think Black is hard to beat for dignity, class, and street cred. But living in a very hot climate, the Black is hot, and picks up dust very quickly. I have the Nobel Spina Mica now, and love it, but you either like red or you don't. My next one will probably be White with the puke (Tan) interior.

Go with the white if you can find black leather, I like the black it hides imperfections better, but there are other colors beside black and white that look great on the Ls. I like to have the odd ball colors.. good luck with your search..

If i had to do it all over again, i would skip black and go with white with black guts. Lexus paint is soft and black is swirl mark city. White cars look huge and actually appear to stay cleaner longer

You have a white LS with black leather? Impressive. I've never come across a single one of them, so I just assumed no such beast existed.
