Are they both the same color? What is the name of the 2013 color? It looks more metallic and less burgundy.

I had an 07 and now have a 13. I mentioned in other posts that the 13 “seems” smaller in the cabin and has a more “sport” feel to it. The style lines in the 13 are more pleasing to me. I am disappointed with the whine noise (TSB never performed) and some minor issues I am tracking down, but overall I am pleased with the ride and feel of the 13. Not sure if this addresses your post, but it is what I am compelled to respond this morning.

Some of that may be because of colors too. I've found black interiors feel less open than cream interiors.

I have a friend who always had an LS he used for business with folks in from out of town, sometimes with golf clubs. But when his lease was up in 2013 he said it felt like 2013 was smaller, with less trunk room, so he switched to an SUV.

I agree. I could be wrong, but I think there are only cosmetic changes in the interiors between the pre-2013 and post-2013 4LSs, clearly in the front dashboard and center console. All interior dimensions, the seats, windows, controls etc. appear to be essentially the same. I also had a 2012 LS (SWB) before moving on to a 2014 LS (LWB), but don't recall any space differences in the front. They both had black leather interiors.

The 2013 is exactly the same size. Trunk is exactly the same size, no changes at all. Floormats and trunk mat are even the exact same shape.

same size or not, sat in the one on the lot

felt more inhibited than the cabin in the 2010 and not just with cream or ivory color seems seats were also higher to the ceiling than the 2010

not saying one is better inside than the other, just from a spacious feeling the older one feels more open

Seat racks and mounts are all exactly the same...floorpan is exactly the same. The only difference in the interior are the design of the seats, but the size of the seats is the same, and the dashboard. The dashboard does sit higher in the 2013+ because of the higher, wider screen, which might make it feel slightly tighter, but other than that all the interior trim pieces are exactly the same.

The 2010 is far superior.
