Pretty sure it's the same color as Toyota's Blue Flame. Kind of similar to Porsche's Miami Blue and Neptune Blue on the 86. It's pretty light IMO.

 

If its similar to Porsche's Miami Blue or BMW's Mexico Blue (renamed as Daytona Beach Blue), I am in!

 

+600 according to Lexus

 

from what others are saying they probably will keep the IS500 name plate but instead of the V8, it's gonna be the LS500 twin turbo 3.4L V6

 

would make sense. Look at the RX and TX with a 500. Zero rhyme or reason for it.

 

I wonder if this is their way of getting around the backlog of keyfobs, which is still an issue.

 

Well, it would depend on WHY there is a shortage of key fobs; if it's a "chip" issue, I would assume it would affect not only key fobs but also key cards as well.

 

For those thinking Blue Vector will be special for Lexus or different from Toyota's Blue Flame, don't count on it. They are literally the same exact paint code, which is what matters.

Lexus is now using two colors directly from the Toyota palette on the TX: Celestial Silver Metallic and Wind Chill Pearl, so it's already been done.

 

So in summary, at the launch of the IS500 many of the press cars used for major reviews were Grecian Water, then Lexus proceeds to produce less than 60 of them for the USA, cancel the color, re-introduce a very similar color as a special edition model, plus take one of the previous special edition colors and make it standard making those people's 'limited' cars less special in the process. Meanwhile existing Lexus colors like Flare Yellow and Nori Green are left out. Not mad at all at Blue Vector, it's just a highly odd choice is all. Somebody wrapped their IS500 in Laguna Seca Blue, this is probably pretty spot on for how the Blue Vector cars will look.

 

Speaking of Incognito, would love to know whether it will be available with Red interior...

 

I was at my dealer today. Went to the counter to purchase or order the card key. Lady turned the computer so I could read" Not available" . I would like to know how I could get one. They were also good to go with me bringing my own oil and fillter for the next oil change with a reasonable charge for labor.

 

How about beige?



We finally get it out of our homes and now it’s on our cars. It’s like a disease.

 

Poopy brown is not what I would choose for a color.

 

Ironically, I saw my first Caffeine Vette today IRL and it was actually nice.

 

Maybe if it's for fighting in Iraq.
