They have a USB on the main page but it still doesn't show as an available color.

Yes. The website is going through updates that is for sure (US version). It has that USB on that page but when you drill down into the 250/350 there's only the Deep Sea Mica and in Fsport the 5 known US colors with no blue option of any sort.

I noticed that too. Probably just a mistake.

These are the only available colors for US Spec F SPORT models:

Noticed that yesterday too. Just a tease though. It really is bizarre that it's offered in Canada and not here.

Since USB is not offered at least toss in Deep Sea Mica as an F Sport color.

I know, I noticed the discrepancy, I am just hoping that maybe they are still updating and they have reconsidered making us the only market not getting this color, which is just stupid.

I agree, it is a mistake for them to not offer it because now I am just going to hang on to my 2011 USB. I am sure there are others that are put out with the US market getting the shaft by having the least amount of choices of any country.

It is really odd that they wouldn't offer any fun, bright colors on the F sport...

Does anyone else think there is a lack of color choices on even the regular IS models? Just 7 when there used to be 9 on the outgoing.

Also, seems like they corrected the picture. they are showing the nebula gray F sport

Yes and when half of the colors are a shade of silver/gray or white your choices are even further limited. It still shows a USB for the IS250 F Sport when I look.

You might need to do a hard refresh of the website, shift + F5

I was hoping that you had been looking at the 350.

Is it because they are trying to exclusively keep the color to only is-f?
