Well, we get the blue paint in Europe but we don't get the sunroof on F-sport. What a strange decision huh.

The pictures Nilsgunnar posted looks to me like they are of the color "midnight blue" not the ultra sonic blue.

A bit strange, because the early brouchure says you can't get the f-sport model in midnight blue.

Obviously there are different market strategies and packages in europe to.
In norway according to the brouchure, we don't get the midnight blue with the f-sport.
But we can get the sunroof on the f-sport.
However we can not get the rear window electric sunshade on the f-sport.

Apparently. But why even show a F-sport demo car with sunroof when you cannot order it. duh...

The rear sunshade is just gimmick. Never thought it is necessary to have on an IS.

Yes, F sport exclusive, if I decide to get the 3IS I will have to figure out how to get a Canadian one.

That is weird, I am almost thinking of getting a Mercedes C coupe with a panorama roof now that they are not giving me my USB and talking 4cyl engines, if I have to pay over 40k for a 4cyl I might as well get a sunroof not out of the 80's. First time in a while I am thinking of moving away from Lexus.

I agree. I think it is too dark to be USB. But i also think it is to light to be Midnight blue.

In the " features" section there is a couple of pics under multimedia and navigation, and under information display.

Have not seen any other pictures yet.

Default Answer from Lexus Sweden about the blue color

The blue car i have posted pictures of have the color "Opal Blue". This i a spesialcolor, and will not be available on the prodution cars. I like this color better than the other blue.

Picture from Lexus Sweden:

The car is the same car as shown on Geneva Auto Show. Opal Blue is also the color of the LF-LC Consept.

I have to say that the "opal blue" looks stunning.
If the car had been delivered in this color, I would probably have ordered a blue one.
The USB color is a tad to light in shade for my taste, but it also looks good.

And a big thumbs up for self healing paint on the new IS, at least in europe
