Inside, the steering wheel controls have been revised and there is now new wood trim placed in the center console and glovebox. The armrest has been changed to provide easier access and more room. Rear seat side airbags have been added, bringing the total to ten airbags throughout the vehicle. Standard leather-trimmed seating is available in three colors including Parchment which replaces Cashmere.

LexPaul Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I definitely prefer the front end of the 07-09. The rear lights change is ok, but not that much different from the 07-09. Now inside the car is not too bad. I'm not into too much wood, it reminds me too much of the so-called luxury cars that the Big-3 use to make in the 70's and 80's, they had wood all over the place. The Audi A6 is actually similar to the 07-09 ES in terms of wood used, but the point is, it's not over done. The 07-09 hit the spot IMO with the wood trim. I do like the outside turn signals on the mirrors, and the antenna for Sat-radio I can't get handle on the wheels, but I think it could maybe grow on me....Do I feel the need to change up?? No...not this time around, I'll keep my 09 for a good while..... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Actually the Audi A6 has a strip of wood on the dash above the glove box and strips of wood on the doors. More wood than is on the 07-09 ES. Much more similar to the '10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhawkin1 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I always thought you could get different wood/or not packages in the Audis and BMWs, whereas Lexus just has a standard wood trim in certain models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 You can, Audi calls their interiors "atmospheres". You can replace all the wood with aluminum trim probably... Lexus does have different colors and types of woods with different interior colors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
