Thats silver lining not atomic silver though, right? Being a NY F Sport Atomic Silver wasn't available on the F Sport in the US.

I was debating between the atomic silver and nebula Grey. Decided to go with the nebula Grey because I didn't like the atomic silver on the non f sport. Maybe it's just because I'm color deficient, but the color looks goldish to me. Oh wells. Happy with my nebula Grey, but I think I would've been happy with the atomic silver as well

"Goldfish"? No, that's the new Solar Orange on the RC-F.

Because USB isn't coming to the US for 2015 but Atomic is being added to the F Sport lineup I am pretty sure that is the color I am going to go with.

BTW, there needs to be an official Atomic Silver 3IS thread.
Yes, I still love Atomic Silver/Sonic Titanium and do not have regret about the choice. It is an interesting colour because it is not considered a light colour (say, compared to silver or white) but yet hairline scratches are not showing up easily. If you consider paint protection film (aka clear bra), this is also a good colour because seams are very difficult to see.

This is good to know, even though I lease I have a clear bra installed because I hate rock chips. Now if Lexus would just get the '15's on the lot already...
