Looks like incognito in 99% of situations. The people who say otherwise are UE owners or soon-to-be owners.

It has to be seen in person. It's like if you look at flare yellow or molten pearl in photos they can look flat/washed out, but in person it's different

Wind in some photos looks like an icy gray, but in others more like incognito.

I don't see incognito in any photo of wind. Incognito looks more like cement gray to me. And wind often looks off-white. Not really that close.

I agree. Any UE not already sold or pre-sold is going to sell at marked up prices.

For the love of Lexus can someone please post some decent pics or video of the UE in the sunlight?
They couldn't even get the name right, Final Edition, FFS!

I know I'm a newbie without education and I have no soul.....but I really like the grays, particularly "WIND", AND the interior. Present me in front of the AJUDICATOR if you must, but I will not yield nor rat out my comrades. Unless said "rating out" can get my vehicle here sooner.

I like it too!!! But since mine will be here hopefully next month...I might be biased LOL. I really didn't want Lizard Green, Lightning Yellow, Flamingo Pink, or Retina Searing Orange.

Hey Sodbuster! Did your dealer give you good info on your UE's arrival? Mine here doesn't have a darn clue.

They said end of November or Early December. They told me that a month ago. Hoping it might be sooner!

I'm disappointed this color isn't exclusive to the IS500 ultimate edition and is being used for the 2026 IS350...

This one sold. I wonder what the final markup from the original 30k ended up being. Seems like all of the UEs currently on dealer lots are marked up an average of 5-18k and they're just sitting.

My salesman told me on two occasions that when the two allocated arrive there will be no markup. He also said that he is a man of his word. Well, we shall see if both statements are truthful. I will not pay a cent over sticker, I'm just old and hardheaded like that. Anyway, at the end of the day, it's just an automobile. I have reliable wheels with my 2024 TRD Pro 4Runner so the UE is just a toy.
