I also still have my window sticker for the car and it has Starfire Pearl on it also. I had read here that they dropped Crystal White and went to Starfire Pearl.

Starfire Pearl and Crystal White are slightly different colors.

Starfire Pearl is brighter.

Ya know, my car was sold to me as Black Onyx. Now they sell Obsidian instead according to the brochure. Are they different?

I waited about a month for a Ruby/Black combination; looks awesome in the sun. I almost got the cashmere interior but I'm glad I waited for the black. The quality of the paint is excellent. Somewhere I thought I saw some comments on orange peel in the paint, but even under my halogen lamps I use for detailing it’s tough to see any.

Ruby/Black was my 2nd pick, looks great with the UL glass roof

Wink Starlight Pearl



I waited for a very short period for the new "white" color that was previewed with the LS. It's absolutely beautiful the way it glistens under the stars.

I'm planning on buying an ES 350 at the end of the week. I'm dithering on color between the AP/gray and Ruby/cashmere. I like both. The dealership said the nearest Ruby/gray is 1200 miles away. I like both the AP & Ruby because they're not run of the mill colors. I'm a little leery of the cashmere interior showing dirt easily...I'm a real estate agent and will have clients in/out of my car all the time.

Thoughts?

I really like my Aquamarine Pearl. The blue is different from any I have seen and I get a great deal of compliments on it. Regarding the interior, I have gray and I am not sure it would be any easier to care for than the cashmere as it shows scuffs and dirt fairly easy. If that is a big concern you might want to consider a black interior.

The Cashmere is easy to keep clean, the driver side carpet needs occasional shampoo. I puchased a set of Exact Mats (clear mats cut to fit over the carpet mats) on e-bay motors to ease the cleaning and wear on the mats. The hardest part to keep clean is the Black Sapphire exterior color. But, it is the color combination that is on TV.

I own the "Royal Ruby Red" w/light gray interior. It's fully loaded minus the Panaromic View.

Aquamarine Pearl, purchased tonight.

Yay! I broke the tie with Amber Pearl for least popular.

Good! I'll take my Amber Pearl over any of the other colors that were offered for these reasons:
1- I love it
2- It's distinctive
3- I've received many more compliments about this color more so than all my previous 4 Lexus's combined
4- It's easier to find my car in a mall parking lot, compared to all the silver, blackish, grayish cars, etc.
5- I don't like being like a sheep that follows the "trend"
6- Oh yeah.....did I mention I love it?

Just remember, resale..resale..resale.....always try to buy a car that will be easily remarketable. Unless you keep your cars a long time. A car is an investment, a bad one at that. But, I want to make sure I am going to get the best return. One of the reasons why I buy Honda and Toyota products.

Following the trends will make your car more desirable to the used car manager at the dealership when it is time to trade.
