Thumbs up Matador Red Mica CT

From ordered to delivered. We Finally were able to pick up our CT Friday in Ft Worth and drove to Waco in a very strong cross wind. ( 90 miles) The car is great and we are averaging 42.4 mpg by computer so far. It will be awhile before I need to fill up and check the millage properly.

I hope you like the pictures.

Nice & congrats! Do I see a window tint? Hard to tell by the angles of the photos. Dang, nice mileage considering it's not even broken in yet! How long did you have to wait for yours?

I ordered one like the one I got, but with PCS/Adaptive Cruise Control on March 13th. When the dealer found out they were getting this one they called me and I said I would take it. It has been just over a month. The still don't have a build date on the one I ordered.

My salesman told me they were only going to get 2 cars in May and may not get any in June.

Are you going to take a hair dryer to the "SEWELL" logo on the rear?

Yes I had the windows tinted before I picked it up. The tint look really great with the Matador Red.

No, I will leave it. They have been very good to me the last 6 years. I'll l let them have a little free advertising. Plus it kind of balances the rear.

Default that color

Matador red is really a beautiful color, probably Lexus' best.

I WOULD take a hair dryer to the Sewell badge. It screws up the lines of the car and gives free advertising to the dealer .

He makes a good point, it does seem to balance the rear where the Lexus logo is missing on the car.
