Indeed, a beautiful color! Atomic Silver, the best ever created by mankind!

^ Nice. I have a Atomic Silver myself. Most unique color of them all. Everyone has white.

I second this! Had a dude bro, with his GF, point this out at night when I was sitting inside with the roof open. Didn't know I was inside. :-)

Atomic Silver and Nebula Gray are nice--were part of my considerations. But after much deliberation, I decided to go with Silver Lining.

Here's my pros and cons for Silver Lining (or silver cars in general) vs. Atomic and Nebula

Pros:

Looks best w/ red interior (subjective)
Looks clean longer (low maintenance w/ scratches, swirls, etc)
Looks modern/crisp (particularly withOUT tint)
Safe universal choice. Easy resale. Everyone can get on board with silver.

Cons:

Way too common of a color on cars (may be less common on IS??)
Low reflectivity. Doesn't look as shiny as darker colors. Less visual reward for a clean car.

EB is good, but not the best. Nardo Grey is the best.
