Our dealer has a white one and I still thought it looked striking. They let me sit in it, but not drive it. There is absolutely no leg room for the rear and the trunk seems intended to carry a briefcase. The burgundy/red wine interiors is nice but I'm not a fan of that center console grab handle. Overall though, it does have more character and personality than Lexus of yore and does a commendable job advancing the badge towards a younger demographic.

went to the dealer and they had a silver/red one in the showroom floor. Amazing vehicle, felt extremely nice inside. Definately like the assymetrical look the interior cabin has. All the buttons felt like metal too

Just left the dealership. Got to sit in one and shoot the bull with a real cool sales guy. Got to play with all the switches and listen to the sound system. It wasn't bad. I especially liked the "LFA" type moving tach, very futuristic. The exhaust note wasn't too shabby either. I sent a pic to my wife and she said "My heart stopped for a second"
​​​​​​Lol. A beauty!

Saw a white one on the road in Southwest Houston. I take the bus to downtown for work everyday and there's a white one in front of the Lexus dealership.

First close up of the burgundy red I've come across. Not quite as brilliant as the infrared.

Saw one on the road the first time, a black one, not too impressive in this color, infrared one I saw in dealer show room looks more attractive.

I saw a red one drive by here in Toronto recently and it really looked incredible.

black has always been a terrible color for a sporty car, design details get hidden in a featureless blob

Had this one with the white leather, paired with this blue/purple and orange leather interior. Against the white exterior this color really pops! Seems like it's made for the die hard Denver Broncos, University of Illinois, University of Virginia crowds
