Default Opaline pearl... the new GFM and its awesome

Just saw an Opaline pearl GS350 at the LA autoshow... WOW destroys Glacier frost mica. I love this color. Similar to GFM but brighter and has more white in it, this will def be my next car but with the 460 motor so I get that awesome leather.

2007: Opaline Pearl with Cashmere on IS? Got many, no problem.
2008: GFM with Cashmere on IS? Yep, all set for ya.

2008: Opaline Pearl with Cashmere on LS? Done, plenty to choose from.

2007: GFM with Cashmere on GS? No way, Jose.
2008: Opaline Pearl with Cashmere on GS? Not a chance, get lost.

WTF, LEXUS!?!?! You want to FORCE people to special order a basic color combination that you readily offer in other models? Seriously, WHAT IS THE DEAL HERE?!

Is Opaline similar to GFM except that instead of tint of blue it has a tint of purple???

I think that's gotta be a chick color, I can't imagine being a guy and driving around a car with a tint of purple.

Agree!!! I think GMF is suitable for either ladies or gentlemen, but Opaline is definitely for the ladies!!! IMO...

Can you post high res pics so that we can resolve this controversy of whether there is in fact a "purple" tint to the paint or not?
