They could run the IS500 for 4 more years, and at their current percentages of roughly 3% and making 1k cars per year, there will still be more Moltens than Grecian Water cars lol

I think it's really awesome you did this, thank you.

Annoying to see that 88 Molten Pearl VINs exist, but as far as I can gather, none have arrived ended up in the hands of buyers just yet. I am dying to see what they look like IRL beyond those three teaser photos from that other thread.

Yea I didn't like the photos that flipside posted. Something looked off. The orange didn't look quite right.

I still can't believe Cloudburst/White is as rare as Grecian/Whtie.

I agree - Cloudburst with white interior is one heck of a color combo!!! I have seen videos and pics and I drool all the time but I am way too biased toward my white exterior to take the leap of faith....

Anything with a white interior will be more rare generally. Out of the roughly 1500 cars so far, we're talking less than 200 with white interiors

Circuit red usb are more rare and having a base model is almost nonexistent which I have.
I was able to special order as my dealer is a distributor and they deal directly with Lexus Japan not USA.
SERVCO has exclusive distributor rights with Toyota Motor Co, JP.
