Default Toyota/Lexus and blue (please post blue pics in here)

Notice the IS 350 at NAIAS, the new ES and the Tundra have a nice blue? I wonder if this will reach more models. I like it.

Toyota/Lexus seems to like these off colors for some reason.... At least it's different but I'm not sure that different is always good.

Blue is good but I wouldn't mind Lexus having more bright, flashy colors...liven up the image a bit and you can bet that different colors will bring out the best in those L-Finessed lines!

I like the blue on the ES the best, the one on the IS is too gaudy for my taste.
I think the IS will look great with the blue on the ES

i agree. blue usually give a sense of sportiness, but the blue on the es is so elegant, doesn't really spell sporty at all. i like it a lot. the blue on the IS is nice, though for some reason i kinda think it's a bit old, given that the m3 had that (close) for long and the z had that too.

The blue on the IS does not look bad at all in person.
