Default Ultrasonic Blue Mica Opinions

Ive always gone with white for the most part but as I begin to consider the new ES, the blue mica has caught my eye as something unique that I've never owned. Thoughts??

I'd stay with the white...Colors are totally personal and subjective. If you like the blue go with it and broaden your horizons...

depends time of ownership
if your one to flip cars every 18 months
then go for it and enjoy the change

if you keep cars or leasing for 36 months
pick a less trendy color that makes you feel good day after day

I think white hides the lines of the car a little too much for me. I like the contract with white, but the body lines look sharper in blue. I really like the blue

Saw the ES Fsport yesterday, in silver and black/red. Really sharp car especially in the F-Sport Trim. I personally have a USB car in a different lexus model and I absolutely love it.. turns a lot of heads and I have a ceramic coating over it too, so the blue really pops. Its really up to you, but I think the car would look fantastic in USB especially with Red interior I may be a lil biased because I have the same combo, but its truly a killer combo.

I test drove an FSport yesterday- it was silver with red interior. Also on the fence with the interior color - not sure the red will age well. Appreciate your thoughts on the USB- it's growing on me.

USB is always great on whatever Lexus. The new ES, in my eyes, looks a bit nondescript in white or black because the body lines are hidden and the Bangle tail is emphasized. Bold colors like red, USB and Atomic Silver make it look great.

USB is truly a unique color. Have a 2016 USB IS F-Sport and after close to 3 years in, have not had any remorse with the color choice. Liked it so much that we added a 2017 USB NX F-Sport sibling to our garage. Other manufacturers are coming out with similar shades of blue but can't match the depth and richness that Lexus has with Ultrasonic. Visited the dealership yesterday, they had two ES F-Sports, Matador Red on Black and Atomic Silver on Red, both looked amazing. Your car, your choice (YOLO)

Love USB. Had it on my IS then switched to a white one and I got bored of it quickly. USB pops, is unique, and why I'd get that to not blend in in a sea of white, black, and gray cars.

I have a granite mica gray GS 350, but I think the new blue Lexus is the most beautiful car in the world, ever. I'll continue to lust after them until I see just the right one someday.
