Ahhh...the new Opaline Pearl doesnt look bad. Have to see it in person to give my full opinion if its a great successor to the lovely GFM.

I also like the fact that this color hides the huge chrome grill a little bit.

Cool pics!

Excellent response to customer feedback by redesigning the trunk and fuel
buttons out of the hidden compartment

On the downside, IMHO the fanblade wheels are a disaster.

Does anyone think the new Lexus engine cover center feature looks like abdominal muscles?
