I like the Blue exterior better but since i can't order what i want anymore...I'm not hip on the blue/Carmel as much but I've always liked a maroon/gold and the red/carmel is close to that.
Knowing the interior is Carmel for both....is Red the better exterior (and for sure coming) or the Blue (no word yet).
If there is no word on the Blue by April one I will just HAPPILY take the Red.
But I know me...i can't go look at a dog and NOT adopt him....I can't go look at the Red one and NOT take it...
The infrared is stunning.
My brother’s LC500 coupe is infrared and toasted caramel and it looks stunning.

Feel your angst. Both specs are classic IMO. My nature leads me to prefer the blue as does yours. However, I still believe if you decide to take the Red bird in your hand, and when you see it in person and how stunning it will be, you'll be smiling and feel absolutely no regrets as you motor home off the dealer's lot. There's even a chance of thanking fate.

@stubeeef
As just about everyone here would agree, both exterior colors are beautiful and I can’t imagine you would be disappointed either way. I have seen the Infrared in person and I find it stunningly beautiful! It is not a bright candy apple red or fire engine red. It is a deeper richer tone of red that looks very sophisticated and yet dramatic simultaneously. It has much character in my opinion.
best wishes,

Well dealer is getting car tomorrow afternoon, earlier than I'm ready for it. Will most likely drive and buy on Wednesday morning.
They are 3hrs from home..its a long story but will ask them to deliver to my home....so add some bucks.
Did order the ProClip and iPhone holder tonight.

And if you are comfortable to do so, share your feelings good or bad, positive or negative if you purchase or walk away.

Edit: Happened to think that if you purchase and (buyers-remorse) it isn't working for you and the USB does come through you'll own a premium desirable trade-in ,

That is the same thought process I am working on as I have secured a Bespoke USB coupe but wanted the Inspiration Vert. Car as being built now and may actually be finished. Deposit in Sept, buy order signed 1st of Dec. on the Inspiration, but dealer stated it may never come to fruition. Doesn’t make much sense but what nothing I can do to change that trajectory. So I have settled on the coupe but told dealer I am still in if it shows and will have the Bespoke build which should be easy enough to move if it happens.

Worst case basis is I still have a beautiful LC to enjoy and won’t have any regrets with my purchase.
