Not perfect, but close.

Maybe a bit darker than the actual Nori Green, but close enough and honestly, had that colour been an option when I was looking to purchase my IS500, it would have been a very tough decision between that and the Infrared I chose.

Stunning. Might make me think twice; but luckily, production of the 3rd gen is officially done. So no temptation! 😜

Personally, I’m tired of the 50 Shades of Grey. There are sooo many other colors in the crayon box, but I understand most of the buying public prefer base colors. Still, c’mon people. 😉

In Japan, it will be 1 million yen more and while i cant recall the exact conversion, i thibk it was 9400 canadian and 6800 US or close to these amounts.

Now Lexus USA and Canada may have a totally different take on what these will go for but pricing should be out soon as these will arriive late aufust or early sept

Agreed! My 21 IS350 was cloudburst and when I traded that in for the 500 there was no way I was going to go with same colour again! Don't get me wrong, cloudburst is a great, luxurous colour, but figured
for a muscle car like the 500 I wanted to add some colour to the mix.

Exactly! CB and Incognito look great, I don’t know about the new Wind color though. Probably another example of ‘It’s hot in person, when the sun hits it.’ 😎

I think the color Wind is like the Mini Silver White color. It's a very nice color and shows up good in this picture.

Yeah but not very good pictures, they all look dull like they're trying to hide something.

I like the colour. It goes well with the black and red interior.

^^ You are paying for the color, unique interior color, bigger brakes, exclusivity. Is it worth it? It's all based on what matters to you and it couldd be less here, i was just stating what it will be in Japan and did a curency exchange. The Launch Edition was more also, and let's not forget all the markup adjustments that people paid also.

I was at a local VW dealer and saw a new Tiguan R line in one of the nicest color ever! If " wind" is near to this color, i am sold!
