The Molten pearl is actually quite a nice color with a lot of depth in the sun. But when I first saw the red on the RC in person I was stunned. It's a very rich looking red.

Having seen both in person, the Infra Red is the nicer paint both in itself and on the car.
The Molten Orange is a very nice paint too, but it isn't on the car, it's more suitable on a smaller and lower sports car like a miata, mini, cayman/boxster, etc.

Not what I thought....
I love orange. Seriously. Everyone that knows me probably knows orange is my favorite color. So when I decided on getting a RC, I figured I would get the orange. Of course I had to see what color orange it was in "person."
So I found an orange, and then I happened to see the "Infrared." A few years ago, I noticed Lexus had a really great new red called "Matador." It was pretty nice. But the Infrared is all that and more. It is the nicest red I've seen since the 70's Candy Apple Red. There was no turning back after I saw this red in person. It was a done deal. I just had to find my nonblack interior...which turned out to be a very difficult task.
The blue is nice, but I've been driving a blue car for the past 9 years....time for a different color.

Pole Position
Between these two colors +1 on the red. I think it was wise of Lexus to add a new bold color to the palette for an all new design but agree that it likely won't appeal to the majority of potential buyers. As for the USB, as much as I LOVE the color, and am arguably biased, while I think it looks good on the car I can't help but feel like it is better suited for the original F Just my .02 I also agree this should be a poll
