Hello,

As per subject, has anyone seen new ('08) colors?
I'm especially interested in the one with 4S6 code - called "Copper Brown Mica" (at least that is new color for Canada). Verbally dealers describe it as something leaning toward red(ish) or burgundy... No official samples yet though... I'm confused as this link: http://www.glasurit.com/COLOR/COLOR-Search/index.html for the 4S6 code returns approximate color of brown(ish) or coffee&milk palette...

Thanks!

So brandy wine is the new reddish/burgundy color?

Yep, it sounds like it, but... my imagination is confused , it should be more of copper or brown, where is the red fitting into picture . It's definitely called "Copper Brown Mica (4S6)" in Canada. It would be good if someone who saw it (works at Lexus ) would tell us or better - show somewhat close sample on the Net. I'm planning to order '08 very soon and need to decide on color. Really want something different from myriads of silver(ish) RXs on the road .

Why don't you go into a local dealer to view the sample (they can verbally describe it after all)?

Guess where I've got "Copper Brown Mica 4S6"... dealers know that much only, no samples yet. And their verbal description seems to be a copy of another verbal description given to them by corporate Lexus... I wish it would be that easy.

4S6 isn't anywhere on http://www.scionlife.com/toyota/ so it must be a new color. Lexus has had multiple names for the same color, so copper brown mica might very well be brandy wine.

brandy wine is a maroon color, not brown

Copper + brown = maroon

The colors are replacing the Neptune and the Forrest.

Which happen to be the two least popular colors according to the poll here on this forum.

Ok, update on colors and wheels:

Copper Brown Mica = Brandy Wine
In fact it's very rich dark cognac/brandy color with pearl effect. Looks very nice to me (I saw a sample only). Chrome handles should look great on that color.

Wheels - new 7-spoke design for 18" in 2008 MY, attached picture, see left side. Saw it in dealer's materials here in Canada.

I agree, the chrome handles should look especially nice on brandy wine. Are you getting that color?

Yes, most likely.
