Came across this pic of a magazine page with a shot of a blue IS. The color appears to be much bluer (due to lighting?) than the near-black blue of the blue IS in the previous pics.
(Yeah the pic is tiny I know, but at least we get to see the color.)

Atypical Toyota
"(While an official statement was unavailable, it has been generally believed that Toyota felt that they did not make a good car with the new IS, because it differs so much from a typical Toyota.)"
And they want to beat the 3 series? Anyway, I felt the same sort of sentiment about the Toyota products in general, until the IS comes along. Of course, there's the Supra.

hrmm I'd be putting some yellow fogs in it. I like the HID and yellow fog look. Classic to the lexus appearance to me.
I want to see an up close pic of a WHITE one dangit!!!! Anybody got any pics of a white one??? I saw the little 1mm by 1mm pic a couple of pages back but I wanna see a close one. I'll give whoever finds me one a cookie!

hrmm i think i'll wait until i can see a real one in white. that looks photo shopped as all. a for effort though.
now, unless someone could do a better job of course. ahem DARDEN!!! WHERE ARE YOU!
i think maybe if it was a different pic it would be better. like one of the ones outside and of the front of the car would be good.
