Default Anybody with a Costa Azul Mica 2010?

Just curious if there is anyone on here who has bought a 2010 SC in the newly added "costa azul mica" color. I have been searching for a real photo of a 2010 SC in this color but have not found one yet. Still have not seen even one 2010 one Ebay in any color for that matter.

You beat me to the punch! I just picked up a 2010 brochure at the dealer the other day and noticed the new color. Looks like the 2004 Baby Blue they had on the Pebble Beach Edition. I wonder how close it is? Doesn't the IS have this color too?

The only other Lexus that comes in costa azul mica is the LX570. I have seen a real life pic. of the LX, but its hard to get a good idea of what it looks like when looking at an suv instead of the SC.

There we go. Thank you for posting those pics. I like it, but would love to see it out in the sun.

I'm out on this color. Just don't like it. Maybe in person! Have seen shades of this on other cars, and I thought that it made the vehicles look cheap, no matter how expensive the car was. Yes I have seen it on some very expensive cars too.
My eyes!! I hope I don't get thrown off the forum!!!! lol Or youse guys (I'm above the Mason Dixon Line) won't type to me anymore! You will type right?

love it...i'm with mrblister on a navy blue with ecru piping and maybe two tone dash like the 2009 PB had would be sweet!!!! make it a PB in 2011 and keep the dream alive with the SC!!!

I like it much better than the 2004 PB baby blue. Looks way different than the color swatch

Its nice but i think every 1 will agree with me that the nicest color on the
Sc430 is the 04 Pebble Beach Edition azura pearl.

I have the 04 PB and from what I can tell the color is very different from the 2010 new blue color (but have not seen in person). The 04 PB is a very light baby blue. In addition, the interior of the 04 PB is ecru with black wood trim - a combo not offered in any other SCs. This interior combo is really very nice. But each person likes something different.
