Non-US Market Appearance Differences

[Jake]

Apologies if this has already been posted, but new member here still trying to find my way around.

Ran across this while searching for LC videos on YouTube. I thought it was interesting in that it showed the 250 series with body color painted molding as well as a different interior color option. Also, I've noted both in this video and other videos featuring non-US market LC's that the volume knob is placed down on the panel below the HVAC controls. Looks better in my opinion, but would be less convenient.

I really enjoy seeing all the differences in engines, features, and colors for the different markets. Even relatively modest changes like the front grill can make a big impact. Also, fun amenities like entertainment systems and rear heated/cooled seats. Is there anything the LC 250 cannot do?

That black grill may have been a deal breaker for me. The one we got in the US is great.

Agree, prefer the US market grill. But I would like to have body color moldings. In fact that was part of why I went with Underground on my pending delivery, so the moldings wouldn't stand out as much.

I also really like the two-tone treatment on the interior, although I don't know that I would go with one that light. I'm sure lots of research goes into which markets get which appearances and features, but I do find some of the decisions curious.
