Default White VS Atomic Silver

We just purchased this gorgeous 350h Premium in Atomic Silver with Palomino interior. Love it. Already put 500 miles on it. But I just got a call from a different dealership that they have a white 350h Premium being delivered on July 6th after 5 months of waiting. My wife prefers white, this was her 1st choice. The reason we got silver because it became available 2 weeks sooner and the white one kept getting delayed. So now I have a dilemma. Get the white one or just keep the silver and give up the white one? Any thoughts?

I have the Atomic Silver. Love the color. We had similar situation white or atomic silver. First one was the Atomic silver.
no regrets. Saw a white the other day along with dozens of other makes and models in white. Boring. Glad we got the one we have.

Keep that beautiful Silver . Looks like you even have upgraded wheels! I gave up trying to get a 350h, orange with palomino Premium and got a silver with black/cream Premium and live the color and combination. Here in Florida everyone has white!

Straight trade? I would think there will be some loss, but happy wife, you know, happy life.

I have had a lot of vehicles and this is the first Atomic Silver or anything close to silver. I have a huge OCD problem. I LOVE ATOMIC SIVLER. Best colour ever for being dirty and not looking terrible.

Both are great colors and my first and second choice. Both do not show dirt which is a big big plus for me. Can't go wrong with either but atomic silver is so unique. When you see that color you know it is a Lexus.

I have the white and it is great but I wanted the Grecian Blue, even though the white costs more and is supposedly more popular. But the white is nice.

If the white one was an F Sport with the black wheels and black trim (mirror covers; roof bars; etc.) I would get that as I think they look very nice. If it's a non F Sport I would go with the Atomic Silver. My previous NX was Atomic Silver (known as Sonic Titanium in the UK) and I loved it. Was very easy to keep clean and hid the dirt very well.

I have the atomic silver and very happy with it. If your wife likes White and you don’t take a big loss then maybe it is good to trade. The silver looks nice in many types of light.

FYI, the 2023 RX Pre-Order brochure is out, (check the RX forum) and Atomic Silver appears to be no longer available, at least in the RX.

Maybe it's being retired?

It's without a doubt, our first choice.

I have a 2017 and will most likely get the 2023 RX. Have the silver but wanted the atomic silver. Sad to see no atomic silver on the new one but white is a second choice that will be fine.

I'll throw another vote for Atomic Silver. It is a beautiful color. White is boring (even "luxury" white)

Wow most people can’t even find 1 and you have 2 to choose from? Atomic has already depreciated in price, white one will fetch premium price. If you let go of the Atomic post message where so another owner can get great deal on used.

I didn't have a choice as the NX 450H+ is rare in Kansas. I put a deposit for one last year and I got what came in, which was a White F-Sport. White was not my favorite color but I either took it or leave it (there were like 10 people behind me wanting it) so I took it. However, with the F-Sport package, 20-inch black wheels, and black accents, it really makes that white pop and it's growing on me!!

Automic Silver NX 350h
Wife also having internal battle. Not me, i'm sold on the silver. With the lines of the car and the Lexus trademark silver, it catches all different types of light. Especially at dawn. Fight the power - lol. Good luck.
