I guess you were wrong about the black and silver.... seems like everyone wants to get the Smokey granite.

LexManDC,
Can you please take and post at least one photo of each color available on your lot for the members to share? I think that would be helpful for those who are still deciding/debating on the color choices. Thank you.

Tungsten Pearl with Sterling interior IS350 w/ NAV/ML, Sport Package and wing, on order.
I've been in Iraq on deployment for about a year now, and have had nothing but these threads and a great dealer connection to get me through the decision process. Was set on Black, but all my prior cars have been dark and I wanted a taste of not dealing with the swirls. Plus, I believe with some tint, the silver will look very sharp, no matter how common a color it is. Hope to be sitting in the driver seat by x-mas. Thanks for helping me decide fellas!

I have an RX330 in Flint Mica which is very similar to Smoky Granite and it's very sharp.
If you like to detail your car, it looks fantastic when shined up. Otherwise, it's tough to maintain as it's nearly black.
It certainly is a unique color and looks expensive to my eye.

Yeah, I know the color you're talking about, very sharp. I would imagine it shows swirl marks much less too! Does it ever look like a dirty black to you thought? That would be my only concern that the color looks more "off-black" than dark metallic gray?

For me, it's got to be Crystal White. I have owned alot of cars in various colors, but I swear, my White RX300 never looks dirty. People tell me all the time how nice and clean it is..when it has not been bathed for a couple of weeks. I get my Crystal White on 11/23/05. Can't wait. I've held out for 2 years and resisted the temptation to just go buy a bimmer. I'm so glad I held out!!!!
