Made me smile for some reason
He's my kind of guy.

We just bought a 2nd one that we will keep at 2nd home.

I think that unless you happen upon a former executive with Lexus who is willing to share that (likely confidential) info you probably won't find that data.

What is the break down of Apple iPhone sales by color and memory capacity? Write Apple and ask them, and I would be surprised if they tell you.

You might assume that the sales by color would be close to the auto industry average ( in order of white, black, silver, gray, red, blue as per major paint suppliers to the auto industry such as DuPont). But that would also assume that Lexus offered the SC430 in those popular colors over the years in sufficient quantities. If not, purchasers had to pick from available color stock offered. And certainly sports car color demand differs from Sedans, compacts, mini-vans, SUVs etc.

My guess, based on what I have seen on the road would be in order silver, white, black, red and blue. But who knows for sure ...........?

There was a poll a while back of what color folks either had or preferred (I don't remember which now). That will give you a pretty good idea in gross very round figures. That said, silver, white and black were the most popular colors, followed by red. The rest of the colors kind of filled in from there but are a more distant 5th and beyond.
