I'll be getting a 2007 GS 350 AWD and a 2007 IS 350 ( it's really for my sister, but I'll get to drive it five days a week while she's at college ) this fall. The IS will be in Smoky Granite Mica, but I don't know what color to get the GS in. The poll's listed above and you know what to do. I also have two quick questions listed below.

1. For all you Flint Mica owners ( or Smoky Granite Mica owners ), how hard is it to keep your cars clean?
2. Is Flint Mica the same as Smoky Granite Mica? If not, how is it different ( shinier, darker, lighter, etc. )?

Thanks guys and gals.

Get that very cool looking slightly bluish silver - maybe that is the Flint Mica...... I have no idea what the slight blue silver color is. That is my hands down favorite Lexus color right now.

The blue-silver color available in Canada is Icicle Blue Pearl but it's only on the 450H. In the US, that color is very similar to or the same as the Neiman Marcus special edition color.

Glacier Frost? Yes, it is indeed a nice color. Love the way it appears to change colors depending on the lighting conditions.

Anyone know the answers to the questions above? Thanks.

Flint mica is not too hard to keep clean, and looks great...

This should be more a question you should be answering yourself. Take a look at them in person and decide which color's for you.

Flint is quite a bit more challenging than silver to keep clean, but
nowhere as bad as black. I think it's a good compromise color
(I wanted black originally).

I think I like smoky granite on the IS a little better than Flint (looks less
bluish to me), but Flint is a great color when it's clean

Flint Mica for sure!

The lighter silver is definitely played out.

You...chose...wisley

I was between the two colors as well, and went with black. Where's my time machine???

marshmallo

There are days when I want a time machine too : when I see a
clean black one on the street I am very jealous

INHOCJP

If I show you the swirl marks on my GS, you wouldn't be jealous at all

I also think black is a great color when clean. But in all honesty, I miss my silver GS. May not have the "pop" of the black, but it was so much easier to maintain.
