I like the blue and it looks like it has chrome wheels?

I just had my wife chime in, "meh, I don't like blue"

I think the blue looks great, though I prefer the AL trim of the F-sport to the dark wood. The leather looks great.

Blue is very personal and is not very popular among new buyers, otherwise they will include the blue in the regular colour offering

I actually think the blue and brown interior is a really sharp contrast...

The first picture is not accurate about the color. My RX350 is Nightfall Mica and it is much darker blue. It looks great in the sun with lots of mica in the undercoat. This is a fantastic color for a large car like the LS. I really like this interior, but I also like the new standard interior with bamboo trim and black leather. Too bad that most of us potential customers are waiting for the new LS.

With a starting price of $77000 and a base LS starting at $72000. It might worth the extra $5000. I would say this would be a smart buy with a run of only 250 I'd imagine the resale value would be good and if you kept it could possibly increase given it's rarity ??

Well, I bet the difference will be more than that when you factor in you should be able to easily get $10,000 off of a 2017, will dealers go as deep on one of these?

It might be worth more if you bought it and stuck it in a garage for 30 years lol

if you can wait a little bit, the resale value of the new facelift 2018 version will be much higher than the 2017 model

But the initial purchase price is going to be much higher too.

That looks to be the same color as our 2010. It is listed as Deep Sea Mica?

It's a little bit darker and purpler than Deep Sea Mica. Similar though.

The blue color is nice and the dark brown leather interior is a good option to have.

My son's 2011 M37 is a limited version in "Harbor Blue" and he was able to get their version of a dark brown leather and it is a good looking combo.

With only 250 being made, these will be like spotting a unicorn.......
