I was responding to comotiger since he wondered why they have a cover over it when he wanted to feel the texture (so do I).

I was watching a video on how it’s cut, and couldn’t believe the artisan wasn’t wearing a respirator... silicosis/pulmonary fibrosis are awfully painful ways to go.

Also re my original comment about the long term “cleanability,” how in the world is that pleated panel going to be detailed?

As for the cover on the glass.... getting in/out with full hands, say a smart phone or coffee mug or super bowl ring, and the glass gets hit and shatters... cover makes sense

the most beautiful car door panel in the industry. Lexus needs to capitalize on this because the interiors in the tx and the new gx and the lx are AWFUL!!! The new Toyota crown interior is a step huge let down too
