Default Flare Yellow IS 500 sightings

Waiting to see one of these in person. I see on an inventory search of the Lexus website a dealer in Michigan is set to get one this week or next I believe. Surprised not a lot more interest in this one considering the success of Molten Pearl and Blue Vector. Any buzz or interest in this beautiful machine by anyone?

New to the forum, actually, new to a non-American car. First one in my 35yrs of driving.
Picking it up at 5 tonight.

I put money down on one - it is expected to arrive in February. I expect most to be delivered around the same time.

My wife calls the new hue, "IS500 Taxi".

(That's supposed to be a joke - no offense intended to any current or future Flare Yellow owners)

I love a yellow car (I've owned 2) but for me personally from what I've seen I don't particularly think the IS looks very good in Yellow. Like @MYIS500 said, I'd definitely like to see one in person. I wanted a Molten Pearl real bad but missed the cutoff to get one last year then I saw one in person and I want one even more

Yellow color if fantastic looking but I as a 50yo can't see myself in it... it is just too much of a "look at me" for my liking. I am not knocking it down by any means just how I feel about it.

Have you ever noticed that bees are attracted to parked yellow cars?

How I felt about the USB that I saw at the dealer. Beautiful blue, but it is ultrasonic alright. The Atomic Silver I chose is far more low profile, and in a 472 HP V8, I want to be low profile on the highways. Blending is good. They also saw a white one, but too blah bland for me.

100% agree, exactly why I love my Cloudburst gray low profile...
