Default Going to order 2011 ISF which is more unique color USB or Starfire White

Lexus is buying back my 2008 ISx50 due to headlight failure issues. I will be purchasing 2011 ISF should have my check in 3 to 4 weeks and trying to decide on what color to get. My IS350 is currently Starfire Pearl White which I love and USB which is sick. My queston is what do you guy's as owner feel is more unique color for ISF. I love SPW but here where I live 6 out of 10 IS are SPW but SPW ISF are super rare, but USB is rarest color on Lexus auto. Opinions and any feed back will be greatly appreciated can't wait to purchase my F.

Here some pic's of my IS350 sorry to her go but time for big and better thing

Everytime I see a USB IS on the road, my instinct says it's an ISF and 99% i'm right! So USB is somewhat unique for the F.

USB is the way to go for it, at least for those 2 choices in color.

Thanks guy keep the input coming in. Went to my dealership yesterday GM checked current inventory for the month of sept for the North East only 3 black 2 silvers and one red SF slotted for this N.E. Region. GM told me to contact Lexus corp and see if they can help me locate the color I want since both USB and SPW are hard to come by. Once found they would send the car to my local dealership.

Due to my buy back situation and that fact that I'm still interested in buying another Lexus that customer service can make special arrangements and find the color I want,it fall's under Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. Corp has the ability to reroute a car to any dealership as long as that vehicle has not been preorder in advance. In the mean time GM is also work on his end trying to secure which ever color I choose for delivery in Oct cross my fingers, I will be making that call this afternoon.

I asked the same question when I was deciding between a white and USB IS-F. I chose the USB because I knew that if I had bought the white ISF (which I also really liked) and was driving around town and saw a USB ISF I would have said "man I wish I had gotten that color".

It is definitely a very flashy color but looks absolutely amazing when the sun is out! Can't go wrong with either but I love my USB!

Thats a tough decision personally. Those are the two colors I would be picking from if I was buying new. However I only could find a USB local and in my price range used so my decision was easy. However since you already had a white IS350 then I would go USB for the IS-F.

There's no such thing as "more" unique. Unique means one of a kind. I think you meant more exclusive.

USB is synonymous with the F. Any white color, while it looks great, could be ANY 2IS, so if you want something people will immediately recognize as an F, your only choice is USB. They'll only be wrong sometimes since the IS C is available in USB as well.
