Ultrasonic Blue with Grey interior
I actually already have a deposit on the Infared, its for the wife and she loves the color combination but she did like the blue also. Both F Sport packages AWD 2016's. I have to choose!!

USB/grey but I'm a little biased.
Although Infrared pops, has depth in the paint, and will surely get compliments, I've had two red Lexus' vehicles (though Matador Red mica) and never got as many compliments as USB... if this matters to you or your wife.

I have the Infrared, and it's a spectacular color. However, having seen both the "flaxen" and "playa" interiors, I went with the flaxen, which is a nice medium brown, and goes well with all reds; you will see it a lot because it is such an excellent match with red (see any red Ferrari). The playa (who named that?) is much lighter and has a lot of yellow in it. It looks like Flaxen with a stomach flu. Look at both of these interiors before making a decision.

Here's another thought. The playa is much lighter than the flaxen, and will show grime more readily. I noted this ver recent post, and saw that the writer had the playa interior:
"While detailing my car this past week, I was all of a sudden struck with the appearance of my driver's seat. Most of the seat, and some of the back appeared dark, and dirty? This was puzzling to me, as I am only it with totally work-associated clothes, albeit frequently wearing clean, not new, blue jeans. There are no wear issues to the side bolster, or any of the seat, as others noted on this forum. My conclusion could only be questionable blue jean dye?? But, it did not stain!
Fortunately, the dark appearance readily and easily cleaned off with Griot's interior cleaner, and required no effort. Furthermore, there was no blue dye, or any discoloration on the cleaning cloth! So I am really baffled by this and happy it cleaned off, yet bummed out. WTF?
Anyone have any ideas? I intend on bringing into the dealer to show it to them when it happens again.

Yeah, that's my post you quote. In all honesty I'm not sure that my discoloration, definitely not "grime" or dirt, has anything to do with the playa or is related to the NuLux material. I'm just not sure, as other similar accounts were noted with different colors. Time will tell if you experience a similar phenomenon.
For the record, the playa color is not the color of bile (re: stomach flu), more like Dijon mustard.

Blue with red rocks, but yeah they are not easy to find. Mine was the only one in the country in that color combo with nearly all the options on it when I found it three months ago.

UBS with Red interior
Here's my USB with Red. Had to custom order it. Took about 3 months to come in but it was so worth it. Have had it since July and wouldn't choose anything other. Even though I do love the infrared model and I'm not usually a red car guy.
