Default Saw ultrasonic blue mica IS F-Sport at dealership in Calgary, AB

This color is truly amazing in real life. Eye popping and unique. I just could not stop looking at it.

Loved the IS350 F-Sport both exterior and interior. This car truly has to been seen in real life to be appreciated. It has a very muscular and wide stance. The low roofline acentuates the fender flares which start directly beneath the C-pillar.

The interior has a very driver-centric and cockpit like feel. Will be going for a test drive pretty soon.

Yes, I am planning on going back and taking a test drive. I will take my superzoom Nikon with me the next time.

I was going to take pictures with my iPhone, but I was sure it was not going to do justice to the color or the body proportions so I held off on that idea.

Haven't seen a 3IS in ultrasonic blue in GTA dealerships yet. In my visit to the two dealerships on the east end of Greater Toronto Area, both had a IS250/350 AWD F-Sport in white and this is one of them. Looks nice but it is interesting to see one in USB color as well.

Cool pictures. I am planning on going next weekend again and snapping some picture of the ultrasonic blue since many people seem very interested in seeing the color. I hope pictures can do justice to this color.

I saw two 3is at my local dealer, one is F-sport and the other one non F-sport, the F-sport one look great in person, but I just wonder the F-sport is350 AWD has 6 SPEED? And the rear wheel drive F-sport has 8 speeds transmission?

I saw the Ultrasonic Blue AWD IS250 down at Lexus of Calgary after the launch event last week. Looks nice, as USB usually does.

The ultrasonic blue is by far the color that i like the most in the IS. It looks like a supercar kind of thing. I ve seen the picture posted but i look much better in reality
