weazel8.

I have a Nebula Gray RX and I love that color. I didn't want to get the exact color on my second Lexus to keep things a little interesting so I ordered Obsidian/red. But WOW, your car is such a beauty it's giving me second thoughts now on my Obsidian order... Again, really superb color combo, love it. Congrats!!!

Congrats on the purchase. I'm not a big fan of the new nebula grey but very nice none the less.

Congrats and thanks for posting the pics. I'm debating between nebula gray and silver lining with red interior. The gray looks good. Seems like silver lining isn't that popular. Haven't read that anybody here got one.

My experience with Nebula Gray with my RX F-Sport is it looks stunning in cloudy conditions versus sunny (maybe the name was indeed strategically chosen). I'll try to post pics to show what I mean.

Based on the Favorite Color poll thread, no one has shown interest yet, but all the more of an opportunity for you to be the first and unique one to have Silver Lining Metallic. I think it will look stunning contrasting with the graphite wheels and Rioja red interior if you chose so, but not to the point it is polarizing like with Ultra White IMO.

I've come to terms a while back that there's no wrong color on this car!

JL25, To my previous thread, here's the slight difference with Nebula Gray, sunny vs cloudy that illustrates what I experience in person.

You can see some slight yellowish tones (sunny) vs deeper grayish blue when cloudy. Maybe you like the sunny version, but I prefer the cloudy one.

Thanks for the comparison. I went to the Lexus dealership yesterday and saw both gray and silver f sport. After seeing them both, I prefer the gray. They will be getting a gray with red interior 350 f sport next week. So I may be an owner of one soon.

I was at Kuni in greenwood village yesterday. THe nebula is easily the best color. For anyone who thinks the grill is ugly, i really think it isn't so "in your face" in person, its very attractive (which surprised me).

I'm stuck between the red interior (which reminds me of my 1969 mach 1 interior) or black interior. The red does add some flare, but i wonder if I will get sick of it.

I'm also struggling with the IS250 vs IS350 choice.

90% of my driving is going from Denver to Longmont for work down I-25. I'm wondering if sticking with the 250 is more practical for my daily commute. Does the IS250 struggle at highway speeds? I have to say the IS250 is really quite slow, but I never have any reason to stomp the pedal other than passing.

Tell me how you like the 350 once you get past the initial love affair post purchase. I'd love to hear what kind of MPG you see on the highway as well.

I've got the same package and color combo. I'm loving it as well. Congrats!
