Nice shots, especially the 1st one with a good angle that shows the best of the front portion.

Congrats. It is a beautiful car. I've seen pics of the new IS in Sonic Titanium. Is this the equivalent color? I don't see Sonic Titanium available on a US Spec car.

This is my favorite color.

Yes, Atomic Silver = Sonic Titanium. On the non-F-Sport models, this is probably my favorite as well and what I'd buy with those multi-spoke wheels. It's got a luxurious sheen that emits different color tones depending on the angle and lighting conditions as if the car's been cut from a solid precious stone. And this is from pictures. I can't imagine how beautiful it is in person...

This is the color I would first consider if going for non- F-Sport. A good change for people who has been driving silver car for many years.

Just in at ErinPark Lexus!!! Car is sharp looking in pictures, and even nicer in person. You don't notice or appreciate the sculpting of the body until the car is right in front of you. Especially love the Stargazer Black - WOW!

No complaints on the outside. Got pics of the inside as well.

Positives: Carpeting is better quality (thicker/denser) than the 2IS. Headliner is of a nice velvet material of equal quality to 2IS. Majority of upper portions of the dash and portions of the console are of equal quality to the 2IS. Nice 7 inch screen graphics and color display (and this is from the base Lexus Display Controller - no NAV).

Negatives: The lower portions of the dash/glove box, the piano black trim on base models, and non F-Sport center console padded area beside the HVAC is of the quality of the CT (not bad).

Overall, the interior still exudes a high-quality aura and the design is very sporty. Very impressed nonetheless and I can only imagine the wooded or aluminum trimmed IS interiors will look even richer. Breaking down the several pics in 2 posts. Enjoy!

Part 2 of pics ! Look at those curves along the belt line is even more prononounced than the 2IS, and the complexity of shapes at the rear!

Thanks, proof the iPhone can take nice pics in good lighting!

Atomic Silver is very beautiful in person, especially in sunlight. Also, the multi-spoke wheels don't look all that hard to clean either.

Correct, no Nav and app suite. The controller worked really well during my test.
