In Hongcouver, Canada here, I think there are like 5 in CLVancouver, I think like 3 LE (one of the LE is that modded one on here w/ novel exhaust, etc..), my GW, one that's wrap matte black. On the road seen a USB, a GW w/ white interior, a Caviar, and a Atomic Silver.

I live in Cary/Raleigh, NC area. I had to drive up to MD to get my IS500. My local dealers don't get enough allocations. I told my wife my car is ultra exclusive. One month later, I see another red on black IS500 show up in my community... My wife is confused 😕
There are two red on black IS500s near me. I see them a lot as we have similar commute. I sold my GTHaus midpipe to one of them.
I have yet to spot a non-black IS500 in my area yet.

We also have an existing thread where folks discuss and/or post photos of other IS 500s they have seen out and about!

I'm in the Charleston, SC area and I haven't seen another IS500 here ever, besides a new USB at the dealer about 6 weeks ago. It wasn't sold to a local, so my drought will probably continue for a while. I'm thinking about taking it to the big downtown "Ale & Octane" event, since apparently it's such a rare car around here. It might as well be a Lambo 🤣🤣🤣

A nice gentleman yesterday told me he loves the color on my car. He said, "My daughter has a Lexus, too. She has an ES, like yours, but I think hers is a bit older - that's a new one." Yes, an "ES". 
I'd say people, for the most part, don't know what they're looking at. Lol.
But I'm OK with that if it means being a little under the radar.

I was polite because he said he's still holding onto his 2003 GS 300. He doesn't want to sell it. I get it!
I saw another IS 500 recently, I want to say either Iridium or Atomic Silver with some axleback exhaust. It was dark so I didn't get a good look at either the color or which exhaust. I was in the X3 at the time, sadly.
