Default What to Get

I am buying a new sc430. And i wanted to know what color i should get. I have been drooling over the amythyst with the mocha interior but am unsure. Does anyone have pics of the amythyst exterior. I have been browsing and all i can find is the black cherry. Also what do you think the amythyst will look like with the mocha interior. Anyone have pics?

There are a couple more in THIS THREAD

As for the mocha interior, you mean saddle right ? I don't even remember ever seeing one or even pics of that leather with the Amethyst paint.

BTW, Black Cherry has never been available for the SC430, only the LS & the previous GS etc. are available with that paint. All the pics I posted is the Twilight Amethyst Pearl, they also happen to call it "Midnight Cherry " in Canada, it's the same paint, & they're different from the Black Cherry , if that's what confusing you

well on the new 06 there are two brown interiors the saddle and the camel. Sorry about that i meant the camel. Although it is a mocha color they call it camel. Beside the point, what do you think it will look like.

Those are great photos, there aren't a lot that really do the color justice. That picture puts it on the map.

If you do get the purple I think you really have to think about accessories that make the car pop.

Purple x saddle combination.
Like someone has mentioned, I don't think this setup is available as Lexus
but we do have it here in Japan :-)

Maybe you can find someone with a Black/Black
that wants a Black/Saddle and trade out interiors.
I wanted White/Black too and thought about a swap
but found our Black/Saddle and now I have a new
hobbie, Keeping a black car looking good.

When they are clean they are beatuiful.

I think the white/black combo for the SC430 is available in the US since 2004 MY, you just didn't want to wait for one right ?
Actually, your white/saddle looks great, I personally don't like the black interior for the SC430.
