I must say, internet photos do no justice for these cars colors. My coworker picked up a new is350 in iridium and I stare at it every day. I saw an infrared 350 across the intersection yesterday and dropped jaw. The current IS no matter what denomination, just looks stunning. I find myself gawking at everyone's!
Can't echo these comments any louder. The style of the IS is just so appealing that the car glows in any color combo you select, and Lexus paint just seems to be on another level of sophistication.
TGPCanada...sorry i could only give you 1 like but your purchase and pics deserve 5 likes!!
Looks frikin amazing and so happy for you!! Welcome to the ownership world and those dark enkeis look amazing on that red backdrop!!
Thanks! It only took a year! What a difference firing up this thing compared to my 21 350. The rumble is intoxicating. The hood bulge is menacing. LOL. I didn't have M. Levinson in my 350. What a difference this sound system makes. Like night and day.

I’m sooo stoked for you!!
1. The 2021 refresh truly is the Final Boss level of the 3rd gen IS.
2. I agree, in any color, this car is just stunning. My favorite view is the rear, it’s so damn fat and hunkered down on the road it looks effing awesome.
3. My 350 didn’t have the ML either and the difference is almost criminal. ‘Lexus Premium Sound’ my eye… 😂
I can’t get enough of the new owner impressions. A year later and my entire face is still one big silly smile, happy motoring!!!
Second post today, but I am stoked to see my first 500 in the wild. This one crossed my sights and it was amazing.
Incognito (like all the colors) was spectacular and has so much more to it than what shows up on screen. I followed this dude for a while but couldn't grab his attention. Audi plate frame so maybe it's just something to get him by. Anywho, it was rad and I was loving it!
With fewer than 2,500 in all of North America, I'm not surprised.
Yeah, I've seen literally one. Incidentally, it was also Infrared like mine, which is partly why I went for it. Obviously I've seen a few at car meets, but just the one outside of that.
While I am waiting on my car at the body shop, here is a photo I have not shared before. Just a random parking lot photo.
It's been gone only three days, but I am so ready for it to be back... It's looking like it'll be at least another week.

I can only imagine. I was w/o mine for a week last year for the PPF treatment and a month ago for a 7 day trip to Hawaii. Both times I missed the car terribly!
Being a 500 owner for a mere 4 days after spending 2 years in a 21 350, my opinion is the 500 is not simply a 350 with a bigger, badder engine. The 500 is more brutal, more visceral in many ways. As strange as this may sound, I can "feel" the RWD setup compared the AWD in my 350. The handling is sharper, the exhaust much nastier, etc. etc. For those who have a 350 and are on the fence about trading up and can swing it financially, gotta go for it. This just my first impressions and I'm still in the break-in period. Don't think I've gone higher than 4000 rpms yet.
