I saw and really liked the color of Matador Red Mica on a 2008 RX400h at my dealer the other day. I noticed on the lexus.com website that this color is only available on the 400 and not the 350. (Both have Brandywine Mica, which I saw also saw but did not like at all, but to each his own when it comes to color taste.)

My question is whether Matador Red Mica is a new color for 2008, or, if I search, I might be able to locate a 2007 with it as well. Thanks.

 

Based on the brochures and the website refresh, 2008 introduces a number of new colors to the RX line, with the reds added back after a hiatus from RX vehicles. Brandywine Mica was new for 2008, and Matador Red Mica is offered for the first time on the 2008 RXh. By the website it also seems Neptune Blue Mica is no longer offered.
