The not so pretty, new IS-F interior options
I've said it many times before, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but Lexus has really stretched their imagination with their latest interior options. The latest options include a terra cotta interior that simply does not match with any components of the vehicle. The F logo contains a blue etching. The new seats are partially red, and partially black. This combination simply does not work with the IS-F in any color combination.The same issue has been brought up with the lower model IS350 and IS250 convertible editions which have very space age like interior combinations. These combinations sound good, but simply are an eyesore in person. I highly doubt many variations of seat colorings will sell. The IS350 and 250 seats are much different from the IS-F seats, however. The IS-F seats are firmer, fitting, and more rectangular. The IS-F seats do not match the comfortability of the lower model seats. They also lack the seat coolant feature, which can be useful in warmer climates.Thankfully the new seat styles are optional, and the black and white options are available without any two tone styles. Lexus is definiately trying to spark customized interest in the vehicle, which should be done considering the steep entry price. As the IS-F progresses, it will include more customized features such as the seats. For example, the newer models also come with a darkened navigation unit, which fits more flush with the rest of the console. New owners will appreciate this, but older owners will feel disappointed they are unable to upgrade these features on their car without paying a substantial price. The IS-F certainly makes a statement with the new color options, along with the original car paint options, such as the bright, ultrasonic blue flagship model.
