I mentioned that I thought it would be cool to see them come out with an "F"-only color scheme. The black/white only interior is cool, but I think a saddle option would be equally as nice. Also, maybe a deeper and sportier exterior color pallet- maybe a sportier red, a different silver, or something completely off the wall like a green, or orange, or something like that. If it's available only in colors that Lexus offers on other models, it's not going to stand out as much. I understand that the blue color is all new, but it should be joined by some other F-only colors, IMO.

Other than that, give me obsidian with black/white interior and ML.

Awsome!! Thanks Ryan!

A few comments I made was adding a manual tranny option, LSD, and a few more exclusive F colors as well(as someone else just mentioned) like a Pearl Orange. Would look killer IMO. I also commented on adding a lightweight version as well. Probably will never happen, but I thought it would be nice to let them know their might be interest. I wasnt thinking about interior colors, but red leather interior would be off the wall if they ever do that!!

I pretty much mentioned what you guys did. Now all I have to do is see the damn thing in person.


Smoky Granite Mica will be offered. I didn't think it would be.

Just finished filling it out... The color choices were rather limited, but the good news for me is that the combo I want is there.

i also feel there should be atleast another exclusive color (besides the blue) or a non-typical 2is color that could be borrowed from another lexus model atleast. maybe something like the previous thundercloud metallic on the is300 sportdesign.. or the crystalline ice from the gs450h nieman marcus edition.
