This was the 2020 or 2021 Toyota I saw on the lot in Blue Flame ( which is the same paint code for Blue Vector) a few weeks ago. Could no get the pic to upload or I would have posted it sooner.

So ironic, last weekend I did the extreme experience, my GF bought me it for birthday. For those unfamiliar, pick a supercar and get to take it on a race track. I got to run the Porsche 911 GT3RS. Anyway, when we left there was a blue flame Rav 4 parked next to my IS350. I looked at my GF and said how ironic I've been dying to see this color in person considering I've had it on order for nearly 2 months and it parks next to me at a car event. If there was ever a sign from God...that was it lol.

It's beautiful tho. At first I was very on the fence about it but after seeing the color up close in person, I loved it.

More intriguing is the color Eminent White Pearl. Perhaps Canada will have an additional color option.

Blue flame doesn't look that great to me but it seems like blue vector may have a more metallic tinge to it kind of like infrared does. It looks stunning in the screenshot below I took from Lexus' Canada site. I know it's probably not a realistic shot but if the screenshot is any indication of what it will look like in real life then I'm keeping mine!

Definitely hoping it looks more like the shot from the Canada site. If not than I’ll be going with infrared.

How could Blue Flame and Blue Vector be different shades when they share the same paint code? I also prefer the screenshot from the Canada site...

👎🏻. Guess if I don’t like it in person I’m able to cancel and get my refund. Or grab one in infrared.

Bit strange they would put out 3 different shades of blue , but omit some other, already existing and popular colours such as nori green, flare yellow, etc. Anyhow, the IS is my opinion the most attractive sports sedan in the segment right now, so it looks spectacular in whatever colour you choose.
