IMO the best color. I wanted atomic silver for both our 17 ES and RX but were not available at the time. Looks really good with the accent dark color from the panoramic roof.

Thank you! Historically I have been a fan of the more traditional silver but I am really happy with this color!

Nate, is case you are not aware two great accessories to get. The storage tray enables you to keep the small things, coins and things you use a lot on the top shelf. The ghost light are a cool feature.

Amazon Amazon

The ghost lights take two minutes each to replace.

Congratulations! I bought my 2016 ES Ultra Luxury package in Midnight Mica (dark blue) three months ago and love it! I see you have the 18" rims as I do. I just put a set of Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires on the 18" rims and I am amazed at the quiet and comfortable ride. Nicest car I've ever owned.

Freds430, one of my few complaints about the 2013 ES was the lack of space to put stuff.. Thanks for posting the link to the console armrest storage. Just curious, do you actually have this particular storage unit, and if so does it sit all the way down in the arm rest or does it hang on the upper lip of the arm rest bin and still allow you to close the arm rest without any interference. Definitely thinking about ordering this product.

No interference at all. This is the one we have both for our RX and ES. They are different but same manufacturer. Shelve is about 1 1/2 inches deep and easily lifts out to grab the large items and the items you do not use often that store in the bottom section. Without the tray it was so difficult to find those small items that settled all the way to the bottom of the storage area.

Freds430... thank you sir. Think I'll order one of those for my ES. Storage spaces in the 13 ES is limited to say the least and I think this will help. I know the ES comes with a compartment over to the lower left to keep things. But it's pretty small and I usually keep my spare change in there.. But the darn thing is on the left side and I'm right handed.. Trying to scoop change out with my left hand usually ends up with some of it on the floor. Not to mention sometimes I forget to close it so the next time I get in the car I sometimes can be heard down the street yelling as I make up new curse words after I slam my knee into the open compartment door . Yes, I think the tray for the center console is a great idea. lol thanks again.

I have never been a fan of silver cars, always thought they were kind of "blah".... but I have to say that atomic silver, coupled with that body style is sweet. Looks great in my opinion.
