The NM edition is such a ripoff. It is not worth the extra money by any means. Is it just me, or does anyone else find the red seats in that car unappealing?

I'm with you guys.. There isn't anything too special about this car.. The Candy Cane interior is different but honestly doesn't drive me wild.. The chrome wheels aren't that original nor is the red engine cover..

But NM sold out of all these cars so they are smarter or the consumers are stupid who bought into this idea..

Anyways my cousin will send me some more pictures later tonight so when I get a chance I will post them..

I saw one in the Harvey Lexus dealership in Grand Rapids, MI 2 weeks or so ago... The car was ordered as a gift for a man's wife!!! The interior truly looks out of place compared to the oem interior..

Now the engine cover is cool as hell... The cover is red in color...

Eh, I don't think that edition is anything special (at least to me), but I am a fan of red interiors on the RIGHT CAR...performance cars....For example, a Ferrari in silver with a red interior...a Porsche 996/911 Turbo in silver/red...or a M3 in black/red, silver/red, etc., etc...

For the SC, I don't think a red interior fits it...it's not really a "performance" coupe...

The red is horrible! Not worth the extra $10k dealers are asking in Houston.

It's not just you who find red leather unappealing. Add me to that short list.
Years ago, when I bought my P1800 I chose a red exterior with black leather only because the other three exterior colors, grey, white, and black, all had red interiors.

I'll get red leather when I see a red cow.

I agree the red doesn't do it. But then red isn't my color.

I like the red interior I think it looks good as for the color combo its basically the noble color edition soarer from japan i like it but dont like the chrome rims I actually think the 05 pebble beach looks better. Heres a link to some pics of another on fla #67 of 100 this shows the engine cover as well as the red carpet in the trunk and i like how it has the regular walnut wood versus the black wood trim.

Much too red everywhere inside the car
Had they put in black carpets, & two-tone red & black leather, it would have been much better . . .
