With three decades on the odometer, Lexus more than cultivated enough reds in its history. Here are the best to grace the brand’s portfolio.
Though most see a Lexus in some form of white, black or silver, the company has a few other shades ready to make their offerings stand out. Right now, you can pick Ultrasonic Blue, Nori Green, Cadmum Orange, Flare Yellow, or Infrared, each shade sure to please the eye in one way or another.
Speaking of Infrared, though, after over 30 years, Lexus more than cultivated enough various shades of red to give us an opportunity to find the best ones of the bunch. Thus, we give you the 10 best Lexus reds of all time!
Burgundy Pearl (1990 – 1993)
What’s better than stacking champagne glasses on the hood of your LS 400? Ordering one in Burgundy Red, a shade reminiscent of the finest red wine in your cellar. One of two reds offered in the first years of Lexus, Burgundy Red outlasted Grayish Rose Mica by a single year; neither have been offered since.
Cameron Aubernon's path to automotive journalism began in the early New '10s. Back then, a friend of hers thought she was an independent fashion blogger.
Aubernon wasn't, so she became one, covering fashion in her own way for the next few years.
From there, she's written for: Louisville.com/Louisville Magazine, Insider Louisville, The Voice-Tribune/The Voice, TOPS Louisville, Jeffersontown Magazine, Dispatches Europe, The Truth About Cars, Automotive News, Yahoo Autos, RideApart, Hagerty, and Street Trucks.
Aubernon also served as the editor-in-chief of a short-lived online society publication in Louisville, Kentucky, interned at the city's NPR affiliate, WFPL-FM, and was the de facto publicist-in-residence for a communal art space near the University of Louisville.
Where do you go for answers when you have a Lexus with a gorgeous leather interior but are not sure about how to maintain that luxurious look? The "Club Lexus" forums, of course.
