I agree it has an edge on plain silver, even with the hue. I'm not sure how they do it, but I like that it's a bit different. After Nebula, Atomic Silver would be my second favorite.

You have to turn it in the way you bought it so I am sure changing the color would be frowned upon. I just feel like it is not going to be as blemish free as a factory finish, had more than one car that had to visit the body shop.

Sounds like you are leaning towards atomic

Yeah, Atomic Silver is appealing to me more and more, and your pictures helped contribute to that so thanks again! Another thought I just had is that the slightly darker silver color may actually go better with the darker rims that come with the F-Sport...

The graphite wheels match nearly perfectly with Nebula Gray but also compliment Atomic Silver well.

Wait, so is this picture of an Atomic Silver or a Nebula Gray Pearl?? It looks more like Atomic Silver to me, but I think I see an F-Sport badge on there as well - did Canada already have F-Sports available in Atomic Silver for 2014 models?!

I clicked on your build thread, and it looks like you have the USB color that "wednesday" so desperately wants! So whose car is this a picture of then, or is it just a random image you found somewhere?

Yup. Ordered one that's suppose to be here next week. More color choices in Canada for some reason.

^^^ Yeah, Atomic Silver available in Canada on F-Sport for MY 2014. Here's the article the pic came from.

This is a good video showcasing AS and Rioja Red interior under different angles.

We were over in Melbourne today and drove past the Lexus dealer there, they had an atomic silver sitting at the front of a row of is's. It really stands out from a distance compared to the other colors, in the sun it just looked amazing and vibrant.

As for corradomr2 and usb, I did my best to convince him to get USB when he was on the fence about color.

You'll have to convince me really hard this time around on Atomic Silver for my next purchase of the NX

Hmmm well this is a dilemma.... you know how much I love USB The NX does look great in Atomic silver though. What was up with that old RX mixed in with the photos? That color to me doesn't look like Atomic. Hopefully I will have my new atomic IS soon and can get busy taking a million pics to share, it might help.

edit: I went back and looked again and see that the older RX was a car you owned, seeing Atomic in person I just can't see where it would ever look like that color. What you will get I think is a car that has a very dynamic paint job and will look like a different car depending on the light, I like that aspect of Atomic silver.

I found these photos doing a web search for sonic titanium. Wish I could find a high resolution copy of the first one.

I agree - that's why I've had light silver color cars for the past 15+ years or so! However, looks like that's about to change - damn you Atomic Silver!

Thanks for the review and video links! Odd thing about that video is that the red interior doesn't look as good in there - I remember the Rioja Red being more of a darker, almost maroon red. Maybe it's 'cuz the video is kinda washed out a little bit?

Here's what I remember the red looking more like one of these (although they're all different! which is most accurate?):

...be careful what you wish for - I came here thinking I was gonna get Silver Lining Metallic, but now I can't wait to get Atomic silver instead!!

Those 2 pics are downright stunning (where'd you find those?)! Ok, I think you've made your point - now you're just rubbing it in. J/K, love the pics - please keep 'em coming!!

Edit: never mind, found 'em (google image search is pretty sweet!):
