WOW!!! That is the exact shade of blue I was hoping to see from Lexus! I just liked the 3IS ten times more now! So let me guess, only available on the F-Sport? Reminds me of Audi's Scuba Blue.

RIP Ultrasonic Blue (?). You served your days very well.

Isn't this USB just named differently for the European market? It looks a little dark in some of the photos but I think it's the lighting. Anyway I am glad to finally see it in blue!

I don't believe it is the same as Ultrasonic Blue, no.

If not, it's close enough. I'll take it! I thought I had seen where we were getting USB on this side of the pond though so it probably doesn't matter.

The latest press kit posted via Lexus Europe mentions "Utlrasonic Blue"..

I guess we will have to wait for the "Offical Press kits".. Coming very soon..!!

European license plate goes well with F-sport grill. It breaks up and top and bottom of the grill making it look less ugly.

very cute. So the engine is the same as in the ES300h -- but the body is a lot smaller. I wonder how big the trunk is. I play music and am always hauling people and instruments around. That is one reason I'm selling my GS450h and getting something with more storage room.....but still plenty of passenger room.

More from Autospies. Under this light this is starting to look like the previous gen Ultra Blue/Ultrasonic Blue 8U1.

Close up pics do look like Ultrasonic, which has some purple in it. I thought I read a few months ago in this forum ULB was staying. I have a feeling this is it.
