Default mattador red

This wasn't one of my choices but I can buy an rx 450h for $1,000 over invoice which is causing me to seriously consider. Anyone have this color? do you love it? My wife thinks it looks a little pinkish on the lexus web site.

It's a great color, not pink at all. I almost got mine in that color but I went boring white. Arizona sun is a killer.

Yep, I have one. Gorgeous red, with gold flecks in the direct sunlight. For me, it was the only COLOR that Lexus offers.

I'd totally grab it at that price - actually, I'd grab it regardless.

$1000 over invoice, that's not bad.

This might help you to deside. All available colors are listed. Red looks good under the sun.

Thanks everyone. I was feeling good about the MR even though I have never been a red car guy but now I have a decision. Another dealer has offered to sell a black sapphire equipped exactly how I would order and also at $1k over invoice. I will probably go with the blue since this is what I was looking for but I have to admit I was getting excited by the MR.

That is the best color to have an RX in. The car is already a little dull in the styling department so the red color really helps to jazz it up. I had a g35 in that color and it looked amazing when polished. Get it . You will love it
