I agree, Matador Red Mica has to be the least common color on an IS-F.

My bet would be the Nebula Gray Pearl for the exterior paint color. A few owners I know have the Alpine interior, but I would suspect either the Terra Cotta or Orange interior would be pretty rare as well. In the end, the car itself is pretty rare on the roads. I just enjoy the sightings whenever possible.

Reading the boards tells me Matador red, but the only color I haven't seen in person is Starfire Pearl. Considering how difficult it is to get statistics on exactly how many ISFs were sent over to the states per year, I bet it would be nearly impossible to figure out how many of each color was made. I'd have to think mercury metallic, obsidian and USB are the three most popular colors.

Surprisingly I've never seen an F in Mercury Metallic or USB but I have seen all of the other colors around here in dallas.

Default 2011 Numbers

I recently traded my '08 Obsidian ISF for an '11 Starfire Pearl ISF with the Alpine interior. I e-mailed Lexus to find out how many of this combination were made. The reply was:

654 units made
140 Starfire Pearl
31 with Alpine interior

Fairly scarce combination.

654 units made? Meaning what? 654 ISFs total in 2011? That can't be right, can it? Maybe for the US market only? The ratio of SFP cars and cars with alpine interior to total ISFs seems to be right though. I'd be stunned if they made 700 worldwide in one year.
