Default the wrong car!

I have seen this just now....

Looks like some of the dashboard pics taken from a GS350 were included Door panels and seats should be from a LS though.

How can a Lexus dealer make such mistake?

Have you ever looked into the salary a dealer pays? It's pretty poor.

Yes, it's very possible. I saw it a few times when I was searching for cars too. Dealers list a lot of cars and take a lot of photos. It's easy to mix up the photos when they're taking pictures of a bunch of cars at once, especially when they have models from the same brand that might be somewhat similar.

Also, I wish we had the leather wrapping for the dash. Ridiculous that the GS and ES have a stitched dash and the LS460 doesn’t.
True. My LS600 has a stitched leather dash though. I've heard the cost to replace it using OEM parts is around $6000... OUCH
