Default Lexus's new Ultra Blue: Forget about Ultrasonic Blue!

I saw this new shade on the facelifted CT and I have to say it's my new favorite. This color appears to be everything Ultrasonic was, but without the purple. I'm imagining and hoping this new color spreads across the "F" line fast. Lexus has some ground to make up, especially with the 3IS.

I thought it was already announced Lexus USA is not offering this color? Or was that announcement just for the IS?

I think that's the same blue offered on 3IS in Japan, Europe and Canada isn't it?

Your biggest market and you don't offer a color you know buyers want on the F-Sport

Not literally. I think it was in one of Autoblogs galleries from a few days ago.

Such a shame we don't get a beautiful blue choice here. It's quite astounding USB was exclusive to the Is F.. Then it's an option on the Is f sport and is c and now it's gone and the white white is the new F sport color when they offer starfire
