Lexus of Seattle has not had any since October 2008. I am told I had the last one. I'm not sure that this is anything but a direct order car at the moment. I've seen a Mica Blue, a fellow Starfire Pearl on I405 - was interesting. I told my wife I had to sell it now because it was such a common car. Saw a black one in Top Foods in Edmonds on CA plates. It was whipped, the engine sound bad and the wheels were all curbed - very sad.
I just need to get rid of those summers tires, they suck so bad here in the NW. Anytime it drops below 72F outside, the wheels lose traction. In the hot spot we just had, they were awesome for sure. But this is my daily driver.

For sure, when you hit 3,600 RPM the second intake opens and you get a nice raw. One cool thing with the IS F is that you can use the paddles to change gear without having to shift the gear stick into manual mode. Use that often to get the raw at 3,600 RPM.

hahaha...Well, Bellevue of Lexus, had all the colors in there showroom, after pre selling 6 or 7.
Its was probably a limited quantities. We'll see if it stays into production, which I am doubting. But I could be wrong, as usual

I think you might be right, the initial rush and now nothing. We'll see. I hoping that it will make it more desirable when I trade it in a few years down the line. I'm nervous, but I still get a lot of interest when I park it, so fingers crossed.
