Default 2014 IS350 F-Sport In Mica Blue Soon

Hey Everyone,

I was at my local Lexus dealership in Phoenix, AZ and was told that the 350 F-Sport will be available in the Mica Blue in the next few months. I was able to order one with terms that it would be delivered in the next 120 days. Was told that they were going to release the color in the next batch. Has anyone else heard of this?

Thanks.

That is quite possibly accurate. Here in the Eastern Region, there have only been 2 Deep Sea Mica 250s produced as AWD with no F-Sport so far. This is per the production reports that my dealer has sent me.

What dealer in Phoenix?

I have been to two lexus dealers in the past two weeks to spy on the new models and I specifically asked about blue and they said it probably wasnt going to happen???

Edit: I just noticed you wrote Mica Blue, as in Deep Sea Mica, I was originally thinking the Ultrasonic Blue... Anyway, Lexus.com lets you build an F-Sport 350 in Deep Sea Mica so I assume that means its on its way!

Maybe this is the July 19th news (other thread)? Or part of it?

IMO, opal blue > ultrasonic blue > mica blue

I would be quite disappointed if mica blue was the July 19 news. Seems like a nice enough color, but not really that exciting.

The ISF configurator shows the USB as "Ultrasonic Blue Mica".

The 2014 IS configurator shows the blue as Deep Sea Mica".

The ct Fsport configurator shows a blue as "Ultra Blue Mica".

The LF-LC article shows a blue as "Opal Blue".

* Is Ultra Blue Mica the same as Ultrasonic Blue Mica? - I would assume so, they look the same online.
* I don't think Opal Blue has been used by Lexus/Toyota before?
* if a local Arizona dealer mentioned "Mica Blue" for FSport models soon... maybe it's USB and not DS

Various blues w/color codes over the years (correct me if this research on google is wrong)

8U1 - Ultrasonic Blue Metallic/Ultrasonic Blue Mica
9J5 - Sky Blue
8V3/9H8 - Deep Sea Mica
8V8 - Liquid Blue Pearl
8P4 - Indigo Ink Pearl
8N8 - Intense Blue Pearl
8M6 - Spectra Blue Mica
8L5 - Royal Sapphire Pearl

I agree. I bet it is the July 19th news. Does anyone have a picture of this color?

I agree. If its true and it's going to be available in the next couple months, I will definitely wait for it. Even though I do need a new car very soon. Lol.

I'm right there with you!!

USB + factory 19" wheels for FSport are what I'm hoping for.

If the full name is "Mica Blue Soon" I saw it today at my local dealership on an IS250 (non-f sport). It is a nice blue color. The interior was cream color. Nice looking car if you like blue.
