I see a nice dark blue
on the 2014 RX350 is available. What a nice color. I always thought my Cerulean Blue was too light. They do not even offer it any more.
Even though mine is 24K 2012 in PERFECT shape, I find myself wanting this car/color. It really is my color.
I could trade mine in and get a good deal as I have some equity. I think I would get $35K as it is top condition, flawlessly maintained.
Or, I'll get new tires and the lighted sills

About a year ago, I bought a 2013 RX350 in Dark Blue (Deep Sea Mica) w/ Saddle Tan seats/interior. I also like the "black" lower interior, dash, and door panels; and I like the grey "headliner". I thot that the "black" headliner on the "F Sport" was a "turn off" for me. I've always had light interiors on previous Lexus' but am enjoying the Dark Blue exterior w/ Saddle interior seating. Also, I gave up the "swivel headlights" and "auto dimmers" (no longer offered on 2013/2014s) on my 2011 RX; but got the "Blind Spot Monitor" system on this one, which I like a lot. I don't miss the swivel headlights as the "Xenon HID" headlamps on my 2013 are so bright that I don't miss or need the "swivels". BTW, the 2013/2014 RX350 has only a single CD/DVD player, whereas the previous years had a six CD/DVD player. I do like the USB plug in the center console which makes up for the loss of CD/DVD multi player. I got Michelin tires and like them also.

There are some blue colors I have liked over the years, such as the Datsun Light Blue Metallic (305) on the early 280z. There have been others I have despised such as one VW used on the Passat some time ago, my sister drove one, which we used to refer to as Windex Blue. I understand the Subaru Blue used on the WRX/STI as that is their corporate color and they do some nice accenting with the yellow, though it is not something I would personally consider. Guess it has as much to do about the vehicle it is going on as the color itself. Some vehicles just lend themselves to a certain color.
Blue is definitely, IMO, a polarizing color. If done well it looks great, otherwise for me it goes to the bottom of the list of choices. As for the Lexus Deep Sea Mica, I am not feeling it. If I saw it with the saddle interior up close I might have a different opinion. But from the photo on the Lexus web site I would pass.

I like my swivel headlights, but would also like to see the brighter ones mentioned above. Auto High Beams never took off with me. An improvement over my Grandmother's Lincoln sedan 50 years ago, but still too flaky
I never use the cd player, so a one disk player would be better for me. Less to go wrong
I guess 2012 was the year of no dark blue colors.
I chose my color at the end of the day, it was dark outside and I was full of anxiety after having made about 1500 other choices pertaining to the sale. The color choice nearly put me over the edge.

I just happened on my Black Sapphire Metallic blue 2010 RX350. The color just called to me. So much nicer than black or the 'champagne' color. Surprisingly, it looks really nice at night under parking lot illumination.
