The only thing that bothers me about Flint Mica is that if it's not sparkling clean, it tends to look dirty IMO. The Mercury Metallic GS looks so sweet in those pics from the Lexus Europe website.

Default Flint Mica............mmmmmmm or Black

I was set on getting Flint Mica until I saw the Flint Mica next to a Black one. The Flint Mica looked nice and refined, but the Black was just too F-ing hot to pass up. I also knew i'd be washing it more often, but I didn't care. You can't go wrong with any color is this car, except red maybe.

Default The GS430's are drying up in the East....

with Black Onyx and Mercury as the top sellers. We will see the GS450h only in these colors as a result and strictly with the Black leather. Flint Mica refracts the light into little rainbows of color on a sunny day and comes alive. It has a lot of grain so it grabs your attention when you walk by....
