Default 2019 RC350 F-sport Atomic silver Vs Infrared

In the market for a new 2019 rc350 f sport and im torn between atomic silver with red interior or infrared with the white interior. I test drove one with the black interior and it seemed a little too dreary for my taste!

This is a super tough call.
I bought the Atomic/Red. I had to have the Red interior. That trumped all for me.
Someone else in my office has the Infrared/Black. I really love that red exterior. Red/Red seems to be excluded.
To make matters worse, I kicked around the idea of Blue/Red. They will allow that option, but I don't think I was aware of it at the time. I don't see a Blue Mica very often, but when I do I need a neck massage after my head spins.

For me I was torn between the blue/black interior and white/red interior. I joined the masses and chose white That said the infrared is really something special in my opinion and even better in person to look at when clean. The Atomic silver when paired with the red interior is also such a great combo on any car...its also the best color choice to hide any dirt/scratches most likely. Very tough call indeed...good luck!

I park outdoors and do feel the Atomic silver hides dirt really well. The Infrared looks awesome clean, but I do see it dirty quite a bit and I think it shows that dirt more.
Different people will experience dirt differently. Regional dirt is different, how often they wash, where they park etc.

The RC would my my secondary car so im not too concerned too much about exterior dirt/swirls. I am worried that the white interior may get dirty too easily and also if the red ext would end up being too much color if thats possible. The atomic silver/red int combo is sharp but i dont know if its going to look like every other exterior color car on the road nowadays.

I voted for the Atomic Silver with Red Interior, as this is the combo my '19 NX F Sport is and I love it. my wife's RC however is Ultra White/Black combo and the interior is just bland. I wanted her to get red but she didn't like it. white interior looks great when it is new and shiny, but I could never own it. I would have it nasty after about a week.

my ultimate favorite color combo would be UltraSonic Blue and Red interior but I don't think that is available on the new RC anymore.

i have had an Infrared RC350 for over 4 years, with the tan ("Flaxen," not the "playa," which is very yellow) interior, and it's always a big hit wherever it goes, and I would highly recommend you think of that. My black SC430 had the white ("ecru") interior, and that looked spectacular, so a white interior with the red would be pretty nice, if not a bit flashy. Look at a few Ferraris, though, and see how you like the red/tan combo.
My friend down the street just bought an ES350 in silver with the red interior, and it looks very nice, although silver/grey cars are exceedingly common, and the atomic silver, despite its name, does not pop the way the infrared does. I am stopped all the time by people asking about the paint job. (It costs extra, but is well worth it.)
Both are nice, but if you plan to go incognito any time in the near future, buy the silver.

i loved the flaxen and playa interiors but unfortunately lexus does not offer those for the 2019 model year. only white, black or black& yellow interior on the f-sport models. So im trying to decide if i want a "flashy" exterior color or interior color. i may need to just get a black interior if i decided to go with red which im not super thrilled about.

I vote atomic silver. The paint hides any imperfections really well and it doesnt show dirt.
