Smokey Granite Mica with the grey interior. Saw this car on the lot and loved it...

I guess I was fortunate I got my car in less then 48 hrs...

I guess I'm a little surprised there's not more Matador Reds in the poll. I see a lot of them in my area, and frankly, it's the first red I'd seriously consider in years. It's absolutely gorgeous in the bright sunlight ... one of the richest reds I've seen. I just wonder if it attracts the attention of the law like red does on 'Vettes and Vipers.

I think the IS is one of those cars that look really different in different colors. In dark colors, it looks little, and in white or silver it looks a lot bigger. Almost like two different cars.

Not sure if I voted before or not, but I got a Tungsten Pearl w/ Black IS 350 about 3 weeks ago.
My first choice color was Glacier Frost Mica w/ black, but was told non was available. So I ended up picking Tungsten... I did not like the color when IS was first introduced, but I think it grew on me and now I like the color...enough to keep the car for the next 10 years.

i have my SGM250 for about a week now and was beginning to regret the color but im surprised from this poll how many people has this color. To me, it looks nice in person but not in pictures. i went from white car (dad's 1988 Ford Taurus) to a green to a blue to a black suv and now to a grey car.

Smoky Granite Mica. And yes, I agree, this color looks great in person, but so bland in photos.

I HATE the black interior. my car has one now and its depressing. the sterling just doesnt do anything for me either but I may have to go tungsten/sterling just to get a car. the tungsten isnt as metallic as I would like. this sucks right now man.
So....if I said I got the LAST SGM/Cashmere in SoFla about 3 1/2 weeks ago, that ...wouldn't hurt your feelings, right ?

I kinda KNEW that SGM with the Cashmere interior was going to be hard to get....but....the fates have favored me.

I love this color. . . Did you ever get your wheels?

I was just looking at the poll results. Based on the poll,

-1 out of every 5 2IS's you see on the road will either be Smokey Granite or Black Onyx.

-1 out of ever 170 2IS's you see on the road will either be Mystic Gold.

lol

Smoky Granite Mica is a hot color for those that don't dare go black again.........but it would make for an odd feeling sitting at a stop light idel right next to another one of the same color......

Breakwater Blue with Sterling perf

From the comments it sounds like I'd better get something on that leather, pronto.
