Why just 3 interior colors?

All those fancy colors drive up production costs that get passed along to the buyer. I think the ISF is already having a hard time with sales as it is and not afford a higher price.

Well..maybe so...I just don't get it. It's freakin' Dye right ;-)) I mean seriously, the colors are not a different leather..it's just dye colors. It's just frustrating. I will have an IS-F one day..but i think black on black interior is just so uninviting...

OK, I get your point. I don't agree, But I get your point. For me, Black IS the only choice.

black interior is the only way to go for me. for me i feel darker interior is less distracting, and also extremely classy.

That's because Black is the only choice you have...other than white!! ;-)) (Actually the truth be told...if I only had a choice of Black VS White interior...I too would choose Black leather. But I bet if given a choice of Red, Saddle, or charcoal...I bet the charcoal would be in your IS-F right now ;-)

Yes, you are right about the cost of dye for the leather being cheap. But this is a Japanese car. They are big into proficiency in production (5S type stuff). Things are simplified and standardized into only offering a few different variations to control cost and and keep warehousing/storage costs down. This is something they are very good at, so much so big companies like Boeing employ consultants to help standardize/simplify production, and they are building planes that are 100's of millions per aircraft on a per order basis, not pre-building and let set on a lot somewhere.

I don't disagree with you, but I do kinda understand the train of thought. I like the black too, but it isn't for everybody.

Good luck.

not sure if this was directed at me...but i am actually a huge fan of black. and actually i had the choice of black, white, or the terra cotta.....and i still chose black....i special ordered my car...

I think the black with blue hue & stitching fits the ISF the best. White/Black leather is nice but for longevity reasons, the black interior is best.

I suppose you could get the white and have it dyed to whatever color you want

I saw an IS-F for sale in europe somewhere.... It had red leather on the door panels. Looked really nice. Lexus is not alone in this. Try ordering a C63 with anything but black or white interior. When I had my Audis - same problem.
