I need to get out more.....
I used to be awkward about that, too. But I've had more practice, thanks to this car, lol. I pretty much say thank you and see what else they say. Sometimes people ask me things like, "What year is it?" or "Is it fast?" or "Does it ride nice?" and I just go with it.

As for being flagged down, I don't think I've ever had that happen. That's somewhat weird. Like, I am just going about my day. This isn't a meet. Unless it is, in which case, yes, flag me down.

The next level is... "Is that a Supra?" I've been getting that one for 22+ years. I sarcastically want to say, No it's a BMW, Ferrari, etc. It only says Toyota and Supra Turbo on it's plump rear end. I had a Subaru Legacy GT Wagon which used to get a surprising amount of attention but the Infrared on this IS 500 does get a lot of random attention.

It’s a unique car, not many around so you’re bound to get comments from people who like cars! Take it as a compliment.
I do agree, I would not pull over while driving if someone tried to flag me down.

If you told me those were 2025 OEM rims I'd believe you. They suit the car very well without standing out too much.

I’ve been on this form for over a year since I bought my 2024, but I never realized that my car was the first incognito built with white interior according to the spreadsheet of VIN data. I guess I have a unique car!
I flew to Pennsylvania to purchase it and drove it back 700 miles to the Atlanta area, and now only have 3,800 miles on it. I still enjoyed it every time I drive it, I love the color both inside and out.

First impromptu photo-shoot. I'm glad I asked the dealer not to put their cheap tint on it but I certainly felt the Texas sun this morning.

That wheel design fits the 500 very well, maybe because there are so few out there compared to the traditional BBS wheels

Hey bud ... sure I could use a recommendation!

I always went to Tint World in Webster but they refuse to do Lexus vehicles with the factory UV coating. They say they can't guarantee their work because they won't peal the tint once applied.

I agree, those wheels look absolutely great on this Incognito colour, in particular.
