if I didn’t get an LE, I would get this color or Red. I saw this one at Lex of Margate on Thursday. A Sales guy saw my face as I was admiring it and said that he can see me in it..I had to stop him quickly by telling him that I have an LE.

Allow me to offer a counterpoint: Meh. Blue Flame is an abomination of a color from Toyota, the worst of the three blues offered on the IS500, and a totally missed opportunity to offer a unique color. Just my opinion tho, I can see why some might like it.
I used to have a WRB Blue STI, so I like it as a color. I'm undecided on whether I like it as a color on an IS500.

World Rally Blue is a very different shade. I had it on my 2004 WRX Wagon and loved it. It's darker than Blue Vector or "Smurf" as I call it. It's OK, I'm sure it looks better in person but Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 is my favorite period.Originally Posted by AmbyBomb

More views, sounds and thoughts on the Blue Vector
I like the color, the IS 500 needs exciting colors; yellow, purple, lime green, and blue vector.

I kinda like it and I'm sure it looks spectacular in person. My Infrared looks way better in person than whatever "perfect lighting" photoshoots I can post here on this forum. Point of fact, the IS500 looks spectacular in any colour . It is just a really good looking car. Full stop.

Complete agree. GREAT color in person. Definitely would’ve been my #1 choice but for there being another IS already in my neighborhood in that color.

I like this blue but don't like the idea that Lexus is using Toyota color especially from a Corolla, I mean at least add a drop of white or something to make it different but nope.

I haven’t seen the BV or BF in person, but my old neighbor had a Voodoo Blue 4Runner and I absolutely LOVED it! The BV (on camera at least) seems to be a luxier version of the Voodoo Blue. I can’t wait see it at C&O! 💙
When I was shopping for the IS500, I was wanting to get the USB. I never seen the Grecian Water in person, but when I saw the Blue Vector in person, I was pretty much sold.
