That is why they produce a variety of colors. I obviously like the white. It is the stark black and white contrast with the front grille that is really striking to me. I currently have a Starfire Pearl 2IS 350.
As far as the color symbolism, we could do that for any and all colors. I do not sweat it.

Sometimes I come across posts that are like graffiti from a bad neighborhood.
... I think people are going to really go for the F-sport and opt for the red interior.

None of these owners is driving in Japan or China and even there white is only associated with death because the guests wear white. Besides last I heard death is a given for all of us and is only a worry for mean spirited people -- like people who post snarky comments on a good natured thread.

I think Blueprint is suggesting a color option here? An IS350 F-Sport in USB and Red interior?

Finally, it is clearly a joke I made since they only sold 500 in total and I included the snark alert favicon. If you took that outrageous number of 600 white IS sold already seriously, as the truth, then I apologize. If you're comfortable with posts about death and prefer them in your thread then I wish you well. A straight answer to your question before I leave this thread -- yes, I believe the streets will be flooded with white IS's based on living in LA and witnessing the popularity of that color.
In closing I'm the one who did the research to debunk the white is associated with death myth -- you might consider thanking me for that -- I added value. I extended myself for the benefit of others -- I own a Nebula Gray IS.

I've had several black cars in the past and had the Smoky Granite Mica, which when waxed almost looked black in the last gen......The only color I didnt really like was the red! It was a tough choice between Black or White.. The only reason I went with white was because I loved the front grill contrast and how the white shows off all air intakes on the front.

Subjective
I went to my local Lexus dealership last week to check out the 3IS and the only F Sport was white w/ red interior. The salesperson then sent me the details on the next F Sport to arrive which is... you guessed it... white/red. Based on that, and what I'm seeing in the forum, I can only imagine there will soon be a white IS F Sport at every stoplight. I know white has been the most popular color for the GS F Sport, but it is at least metallic.
Lexus seems to think Ultra White is the color the car looks best in, but not everyone wants that color.

Speaking for the F-Sport, auto racing swings towards white and red as contrast colors regardless of nationality. White and Red are sportier colors. Blacks and Beiges are traditionally luxurious colors. I speculate this is what drove Lexus to keep Ultra White (a truer white) exclusive to the f-sport and keep the luxurious starfire pearl to the non f-sport version of the vehicles.
I personally chose to purchase the white and red combo which forced me to wait a while because the dealership I chose to go with had a SEA of silver f-sports (which I can't stand - subjective).
What I am excited about is seeing a sea of 3IS'....... =)
