Personally, I would not consider GFM girly. I've seen more woman driving white IS's than any other color. And I wouldn't consider that girly either. (pink is girly).
GFM is just plain unique and it will cause a lot of, "what color is that?" questions. I get more color questions than IS questions with my GFM.
Personally I wanted Cashmere with mine, but none were to be had in SoCal at the time. It would have been a very rare, unique combo. That's a plus in my book.

GFM is one of the best color you can get for the IS. It really turns heads when you wash and lay a nice coat of wax on it. Just get GFM with black interior if your worried if its girly.

I agree, I get a lot of compliments and questions on the GFM even from men. I get my oil changed at the Toyota place (no Lexus dealer in town) and every time I am asked by someone there about the color. GFM is pretty rare in my area.

I think he means by the color combo of gfm w/ cashmere interior not just the GFM paint itself. I know GFM has a pearlish color to it. So I can see if people comment of the girlish aspect of the paint being too "pretty". But it's a very interesting color and that sold me instantly when I saw it...I never second guess the feminine aspect of the paint at first. Get the white w/ black combo..it's easier to keep clean and looks better against the silver trim in the car....but you have to look hard as they are rare. I gave up and just bought the gray interior. Happy hunting!

Depending on the light, GFM has hints of pink, blue, silver in the pearl finish when viewed from certain angles.

I have the GFM paint and the Cashmere interior and I am a chick

But I would say it just depends on someones personal preference and they should rock whatever makes them happy!!

GFM + Cashmere = GIRLY!!!!! JK

If you like it, then who cares what anybody else thinks? Girly or not, if you could afford a 30K + car, then madd props to you. It's not like there's any really bad colors on the 2IS.
