John, thanks for posting that amazing pic.

I hope AS is offered as an F Sport color for MY 2015. I think Deep Sea Mica would be a good addition to the F Sport color palette.

^^^Love my car but I definitely would have went Atomic Silver/Rioja if it were offered here in the States.

I dunno man on a cloudy day or just after sunset my car looks chrome... see my avatar as an example. Cloudy day around sunset.

Not really a fan of this color. There is one IS300h in this color I see almost everyday on my way to work. unfortunately he got rear ended this morning. 3 cars was involved. The rear bumper and the trunk been pushed in. I can imagine that it is a pain in the *** to color match this color. Good luck to him.

I too think it looks best on a cloudy or rainy day. On other days it looks a bit dusty and dull.

Indeed that color is nice.

I'm waiting for the '15 models. The RC F Sport will be offered in Atomic Silver. Maybe Lexus will do the same with the '15 IS350 F Sport. IMHO, it is the best color Lexus offers.

One of the best shots in this forum I've seen!

And USB missing as well. Like the Caramilk bar, one of life's mysteries.

Happy with your Atomic silver?

I just want to ask the Atomic silver owners out there if you are still happy you chose this color?

Because USB isn't coming to the US for 2015 but Atomic is being added to the F Sport lineup I am pretty sure that is the color I am going to go with.

BTW, there needs to be an official Atomic Silver 3IS thread.

Btw... are you the one leaving messages on one of the Lexus Facebook posts about USB being available in 2015? It seems like it's just us really wanting the USB haha

I came *this* close to Atomic Silver/Flaxen... ended up with Pearl/Parchment. I liked how the Atomic Silver looked in person. Photos don't do it justice.
If USB would have been available, that would have been my choice.
