that is true. i went to the biggest dealer in houston to check all the colors combo. it was my second time to be there and i finalize the deal (red/saddle).

for the first time, i was just so impressive with the combo (red/saddle). but sometimes you look around, and found some other combos are nice as well. then you start back and forth. so finally i came back again, trust my first impression.

i think red/parchment is nice as well. however, since claret mica and saddle are both the new released outerior/interior. why not combine them. i know saddle is love/hate. but just being standout.

Another quick note on the Claret Mica is it's a 3-in-1 color. Depending on lighting and angle, you see some strawberry metallic red, some deep metallic wine purplish red, and some metallic brown. Keeps things always interesting.
thanks, that was what i thought as well. i thought this combo was really rare, so just went for it. and the interior looks a little bit sporty.

you are awesome!!!!!! i looked the f sport. really aggressive. i guess u got the red one?

Definitely get the front windows tinted and don't forget to do the little triangle windows too. Congratulations on your beautiful new ride.

I like Poisson's color combination. Here it is dirty, though you do not get a great look at the interior:

thanks for sharing the link.

actually, before i started to looking around, i checked the vedio on youtube. i was so impressive with that red and crush on it. i think lexus also desired to advertise this color as well. excellent color.

your gray is so metallic. transformer feeling!!!!! u know what, i even took a look for the 2014 is250 and 350, there are two grey (dark and light, sorry that i forgot the exact name), they r awesome if coming with dark red interior. i even changed my choice to IS. but rx350 is more practical in houston.

i will do the rollcall when i get the car at the end of this month and post some pics

Post the pics here. Look around or "search" for directions on how to upload the photo. Note the size limits, as you must resize the image yourself first or it will just be rejected during the upload process.
As for tint, the back windows are tinted. The reason the front windows are not tinted is so you can see out of them.

I really like my RX's silver color. I think its Pearl silver or something along that line. but I wish I had the grey/white interior like our IS which is offset with contrasting black carpet/dashboard. I think it looks alot nicer. Tho it gets dirty and stained easily, compared to my all black IS.
