Dr C. Are regrets on picking white? I'm thinking of white with black interior, sport, nav and ml. Looked at a 250 yesterday and there is just something about how clean it looks. My wife loves how it shows the line.

No regrets. My last car was a black/black BMW that was beautiful when clean but very hard to keep clean. I needed to get something that was lighter both inside and outside. With tinted windows, I hope that it will be cooler in the late Spring and summer. I really roasted in the BMW.

Get white. All Lexus vehicles look great in white. Then when it comes time to trade in or sell, white is always a sought after color. Plus it takes a pretty dirty car to make white look dirty.

Cystal White because i am bias. I agree that Glacier white may be a fad color, sort of like dark green in the mid 90's.

At long last I drove down to one of the Lexus dealers in town and saw first hand GFM on an IS. With great anticipation I walk up to the car and it was..... incredibly beautiful! It looks soooo great! They even had it parked next to a Crystal White IS and a Silver GS. I could easily see the differences in color between the 3. I was ah-struck at the color. Sunning (to me at least). Finally a color I can choose with conviction. Of all the colors I've seen, GFM is by far my favorite (2nd goes to SGM).


There is no “right answer” to what the best color is but for me at least GFM showed much more depth and showed the curves of the IS better than Crystal. Crystal seemed more flat. GFM has more character and uniqueness (which is important to me). A very classy rich color. Silver seemed boring after seeing GFM.

I took a bunch of hgh rez 7.1mp pictures (mostly of GFM). If you want them, just say the word & I'll post em.....
