How about Amythist or Amythist gray-purple for the new IS? Any plans for it? That IMO is the classiest automotive color of all. Right behind it IMO would be coral, lime green, and dark cherry red.

I'm not a big fan of that color, but it's nice to see it in something other than silver.

Since Japanese and Chinese carry many of the same characters I thought why not and tried to see what the "320" meant. The 2 characters from top the bottom read "horse" "power" so there you guys go.

Yeah, they have a dark gray amethyst/blue now on the GS. It's called "Shadow Quartz" and of course you got the traditional gray "Flint Mica". Both are pretty cool colors.
They have a light silvery blue on the Scion TC right now and I'd be all over it if they put it on the new IS.
