always wondered how AS would look on an LS... i don't think it will look as good on a full size car as opposed to an IS, RC... NX or an RX would probably look sweet in AS...

Our dealer had an NX in AS in the showroom. It does look nice. As do all the ISs we saw it in. Can honestly say we DIDNT see an RC in it. Most of the RCs I saw in their lot were Ultra White (surprise)

And ours is an ES with AS (and black interior), and it also looks nice.

At first we didnt like it (before we bought the car) but as we saw more and more of them in the lot it definitely grew on us. To the point that "silver lining metallic" was kinda blah. Originally wanted the Starfire Pearl but after seeing the white TLX loaner we had after a small rainstorm, white was out. That left SLM or AS and AS won. Its definitely nice having a car with an "interesting" color.

I feel like all Lexus commercials where they line up the different models should have Atomic Silver examples of each model.

No clue why it doesn't come in AS here! I would have gotten that for sure.
