Default 2016 IS now comes in Ultra Sonic Blue in the US?

I guess I missed the memo in this forum and the general car forum. Was just tooling around with the Lexus configurator and they are allowing me to build an F-Sport with the Ultra Sonic Blue option. I hadn't heard this being available in the states, or maybe the configurator is wrong. They also show the new Redline color, so at least it's been updated to some extent. Confirm the USB for the US? If so, it's about time.

Yes, that's correct, both Redline and USB 2.0 in the US. It's noted in the press release:

Exterior colors (9): Eminent White Pearl, Obsidian, Silver Lining Metallic, Atomic Silver, Nebula Gray Pearl, Redline, and exclusive to F SPORT models Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0, Ultra White and Atomic Silver
So Starfire Pearl and Matador Red Mica are gone for 2016.

Ah... Ultra sonic blue. The only reason I'd consider upgrading to a 2016. Sucks they want to charge another $750, I believe, for the color

it's well worth the $750 imo, hell, BMW even charge $550 for non-M metallic colors. but i prefer the 1st gen USB better, the current USB on the RC looks too deep of blue to my liking.
