So if the 2011 colors are out...does that mean the 2011 models will soon follow? We had to order our 2010 (which we haven't taken delivery on), but if the 2011 is coming next month, we'll just re-order one of those.

...what is the brake over ride for 2011?....thanks for the education..

spinout180

I think the brake override has something to do with reducing throttle position when the brake is applied, but I am sure there are more qualified people here to explain it.

When the brake is applied the throttle is cut. So you can have your foot on the brake and accelerator at the same time but the brake wins and overrides the accelerator. This is for those 'driving challenged' people. What's next.

The new Stargazer Black paint code is 217.

Just added electric motor codes to the chart. The front motor is 4JM and on AWD models the rear motor is the 2FM.

Looks like 2012 colors remain the same with the exception of Nebula Gray Pearl replacing Smoky Granite Mica on both the hybrid and regular RX.

It's time for the 2013 models and we have some paint lineup changes:
Claret Mica (3S0) replaces Matador Red Mica (3R1)
Fire Agate Pearl (4V3) is new to the RX (and may be exclusive to the F-Sport Package?)
Meteor Blue Mica (8W3) replaces Cerulean Blue Metallic (8U9)
Silver Lining (1J4) is an all-new Lexus color that replaces Tungsten Pearl (1G1)
Continuing unchanged for 2012:
Nebula Gray Pearl (1H9)
Obsidian (212)
Satin Cashmere Metallic (4U7)
Starfire Pearl (077)
Stargazer Black (217)
