I saw an Orange 2001 is300 but seem to not see that color option in the 2002 brochure? Is that not available anymore?

Thanks,

James

There was never an orange color. You probably saw a custom paint job. I think there was a guy that had an Orange IS with the stillen body kit.

Yeah 3N3 was the closest Lexus ever came to orange. Their is a possibilty they may do a orange in 2003, but it is still up in the air. They thinking of bring green back in a lime form, blue the new blue should be sweet.

Hey guys,

The orange IS could be one of our race cars at Team Lexus. There is some talk that they will bake a orange is that is the same color as the race cars...

Default Orange

There are a couple orange IS's rolln' in SoCal. I saw one outside at the Los Angeles Auto show and it was basically stock except for the aftermarket rims and the orange and black interior. The other one I saw at race war in Pamona last year.

There is an orange one for sale at the local Lexus dealership up here in San Rafael, California. It is a 2001 with chrome rims and a larger spoiler. It is selling for 29,000 with 14,000 miles on it.

Default I think Lexus needs to do a nu yellow

Like a Yellow pearl Mica, that would be sweet.

If I had a orange one I'd do it up like the General from Dukes of Hazard

I am tempted to seriously check it out since it is a rare color I guess. I wonder if the trade off of having a new car is worth the cool color. I was thinking of getting a new blue is300.

I am not sure about the 2003 blue. I was thinking the 2002 blue. I found a pic of the same color orange

How is it so many people get this color. Are you sure that Lexus didn't sell this special?
