What if you do not like the way leather feels and want cloth? When Lexus 1st came out, they offered cloth seating, but not anymore. Or am I missing it when I go on their web site?

you may be able to get the new ES350 with a cloth interior. it's only available in black and the car must be special ordered. it'll take five six months, but may be done. I have a buyer who is on his 2nd ES with cloth. He ordered the 2002 and just got his 2007.

Lexus is an upscale car maker so they cater to people who want higher class autos, so so no cloth

Lexus is a luxury brandname and cloth seating isn't in demand for luxury seeking purchasers. If you want cloth seats, you will have to go to the lower end cars. People who must pay $29K and higher aren't looking for cloth seating.

So they car charge a premium for the car. there is more money to be made in making leather "standard" then cloth.

You can put seat covers on that will imitate cloth. The leather seats on most Lexus models, as many other models, typically start to wear and tear on the left rear part of the driver seat for evident reasons.

Lexus does not offer fabric seats anymore because leather is looked at as a luxury. Lexus is a luxury car so that is why. If you do not like leather, then get a Toyota. they are nearly as nice as a Lexus and you get fabric seats.

I believe the IS250 comes with cloth if you do not get any package alternatives.

Lexus is a luxury car, that is why no car comes with cloth seats anymore. But I know someone who prefers cloth because of our very hot weather and the dealer ordered him one. It took them six months to offer the car, but he got it .

Lexus is a "luxury" car so cloth wont be an choice because it is not considered "luxury" in a "luxury car." So so, they only have leather, power everything, heated seats and everything a luxury car should get.
