I mentioned in another thread exactly why I don't like it. But if it ticks all the right boxes for you, get it! More power to you! 😎

But in short: I think it looks washed out and super dull in person vs in photos. In either case, bright or dull, it doesn't strike me as a color that will age well at all.

Here's a screen shot of 2 videos showcasing the same color:

Wait - Isn't Road America the event in which the IS500 was damaged? Is it this vehicle?

Yes that was the event. Not sure if the same one.

I wish i knew if an AWD will be released in the future. I dont mind waiting longer in that case. The winter months in northern states still have me concerned. Because i might move there and im a spirited driver. I reallt wish they had added that as an option

I can almost guarantee that won’t happen as I don’t believe there has been a 2UR in an AWD platform ever. And since this is the last new vehicle with it I wouldn’t hold on for hope.

I second this. In no particular order, I subjectively judge Lexus paint options on: 1) How many unique shades it'll reflect in different sunlight. 2) How "pearl" it appears or how dense the metallic flakes are. 3) How much it shows off body lines. 4) The wow factor.

Atomic Silver, Caviar, Iridium, Ultrasonic Blue, Infrared all fall into at least 3 of these categories. Grecian water just doesn't hit many of these.

^^ just for the record, anyone that knows me or follows my posts will know that will never own anything BUT white! So while I dont dislike the Grecian blue, I would never own it nor any other colors for that matter :)

Grecian water is a very feminine color, so I'm not surprised.

How do you know she's female?? :dunno:

wthrman2 Oct 28, 2021 10:12 AM

The profile says male...I think Carolina refers to the State :)

She's always flirting with you and her name is Carolina...and she like Grecian water.

She also uses a lot of exclamation points when she posts which a lot of girls do when they text. And the "lol" at the end of sentences indicates a nervous flirtatious laugh.

We're all glad you're here.

wthrman2 Oct 28, 2021 10:25 AM

^^ I am happy too, and I will never object to anyone flirting with me!! Lol it will only get worse when I get my IS500 and do my review in my mini skirt...

All joking aside, this forum is really top notch with very few, if any, personal attacks so either we are all well behaved or moderators do a great job at cracking the whip...which I also dont mind lol

Truthfully, I wouldn't even be on CL if it wasn't for this thread. Y'all are cool and very much loved.
