IS350 black black; premium luxury plus package, mark levinson nav, park assist, fully loaded, only 16 miles on the odometer. Took three hours to trade in my Acura, do the paperwork, pay for the car, and drive home; paid msrp $$44,929.
I'll take pics tomorrow but so far, this is an awesome car and I can't wait to drive it all over creation!

Also helps with the decision process. For my situation I do not get to see all the colors in person, in fact I have only seen two colors in person. Most likely I will not be able to see the exact car I want until I actually purchase it (Either through special order or getting it transfered from another dealership within the region).....on the other hand I know pictures do not do justice to certain colors and sometimes do more than justice to some than they deserve (That is my personal opinion obviously)....
I am also interested in tints so pictures help with that too......when I really think about it the pictures are making me want to spend more and more money so stop with the pictures!

Nice pics, that black looks awesome, something about black when it's clean, very sexy. Nice interior shots, love black interior.
You should black out your license plate #
Oh yeah, that radar cord, that would drive me crazy, can't you place that somewhere except right in the middle of the console? Kinda breaks up the look while traveling.

Congrats on getting your car. I've been leaning toward the 350 black on black but I also now want to consider Red and Dark Blue. The dealer just loaned me a 250 AWD for the weekend in dark blue. Wanted the 350 but they said they did not have a 350 loaner. I have to take it back Monday on the way to work. After driving it to dinner and back home I'm ready for the 306HP. Just wish the 350 had AWD for the snow.
This will be my first dark colored car and I can see its going to be tough to keep clean in the winter. After my short drive home (light rain and snow flurries) I see I have to wash it before I go out and play tomorrow. Washing a loaner car. That's got to be a first. But its going to be the only way I can see the true color in the daylight.
Enjoy your new ride and keep us posted on your time in the car.
