Does chrome rims make it better, or worse? I know what you guys are saying, it seems a bit girly to me as well. But when I look at all the color choices, what stands out? In the sunset today it did look stunning.

The IS350 is mainly the wife's car, but I have no problems driving it by myself. Hate to say it... but it ain't a IS250... it's got the mindblowing 306 horses and if anyone thinks it's girly, I'll blow their socks off on the road... LOL. I see way too many chicks driving either black, silver or dark grey IS250s around where I live. A Breakwater Blue IS350 w/ a spoiler... Now you don't see that too often. Just my 2 cents.

If you think it's stunning and you like it then that's the color for you. Why worry about it being girly or not.

If you're unsure, check out the black sapphire pearl, which I think is much more masculine.

Or you could go with the Obsidian, which is the best color
second that Love and Hate my Obsidian, love it when it's clean but hate it cause it's hard to keep it that way(one great thing about the breakwater--- see no dirt!). One thing to think about tho is that you are about to spend a whole bunch of money for a car. Make sure you are happy with it completely. Bottom line, only your opinion really maters cause it's your mula. Have fun with the car!

When I got my IS.. I was more concened about the color I like, than what people thought of the color. I love my GFM... I got to drive a BWB as a loaner today.. just wasn't for me...

Maybe you should just go check it out at night.. i was undicided on CW or GFM but my sales guy said just come back late at night and walk into the parking and check out the two colors at night... and when I saw that GFM under the bright lights at night.. THAT WAS IT..i fell in love. To top if off, it was the last GFM with in the 5 Lexus dealers in the area at that time

I don't think it's a girly color at all. I drove a black on black car (and still have it) for over 10 years, so I wanted to go the opposite way, so I was originally planning to go with silver on black. Then I saw the BWB and thought it was kinda like silver with a little twist. Besides, I have a 350. If anything, I would think the IS250 in any color would be the girly model.

I think it's a girly color... but I like it... and I'm secure enough with my manhood to buy one anyways.

I chose BWB because as my signature says "Dare to be different". Silver, Black, White, Gray cars are waaaaaaay too common here in LA.

I don't give a damn what people think of the color.
