I agree, I would rather see a lighter red than a darker red.

My favorite Toyota/Lexus red color is Sunfire Red Pearl. Now on the darker, maroon colors, Brandywine Metallic from the RX is gorgeous.

It seems to me that the window of opportunity where one can buy a large displacement V8 400+HP car is closing rather quickly... At this rate 2 years from now we will all be driving 4 cylinders 1.0l diesel with hybrid powertrain... Also no black box in the IS-F...

So grab your hoonage fun while it is still possible, I have plenty of time to go back to hybrid, not so much to enjoy V8s...

^ Agree completely. When my 3GS lease is up, if the GS-F isn't out, I'll be looking at the latest AMG E-class variant . . .
