thanks for the feedback everyone. Although I must admit I'm not any closer to a decision. Both Obsidian and Ultra White have a ton of pros. One thing that I have decided on however, is that of the interior. I'm calling my salesman to let him know I'm no longer interested in the black interior and I want the Rioja Red.
What it may come down to for me is which color (obsidian or ultra white) he can get me first with the rioja red interior. Hopefully it doesn't take too long because I'm already ooh so anxious!! I am however leaning towards the Obsidian. I'll let you guys know what happens. Thanks again for the feedback and those photos corradoMR2, dstopsie

Personally I think nothing looks better than a CLEAN black vehicle. My 2IS is black and I love it. I also have a 2nd vehicle that's white, and it looks ALMOST as good BUT has the advantage of being a lot more comfortable in the summer time. There are days that I'm perfectly comfortable in that car with just the windows rolled down while in those same conditions in my black IS, I would need the AC.
I say if you like the LOOK of both equally, go with white for the added comfort. When I purchase my next vehicle it will be a tough choice since I do still give a slight edge in looks to a black car.

I have a Stafire Pearl 2IS and agree that it does, at times, look a little yellow during the day but where this color shines is at night. There is no other color from any manufacturer like it. It radiates with different metallic flakes under street lights.

Love the pictures dstopsie! Obsidian is the way to go IMHO. Tinting the windows makes it even better. Thanks again for your advice with Sunshield! I love my car!!My IS 350 F-Sport after window tinting:

Your car looks great!! And you are right, tint changes the whole look of the car!!!
Oh and if you decide to do a clear bra, Hamid owns Sticker City across the street and they do that there.

I agree with OP that black and white are the best two colors available in the states. It WOULD be a tough choice for me, except that I live in Las Vegas where it's REALLY hot. White is the way to go in this weather, no doubt.
Also, I agree with this whole-heartedly:
I have never had an interest in buying a boring old Lexus until the new IS, but I've always been in lust with Lexus' white. For some reason, no other manufacturer make a white that look like Lexus'.
