It's actually the IS's engineer's favorite color. It's staying for another year...

Default Haven't seen it personally . . .

It's a pretty unique color, but they don't even offer it up here . . .

I think only 1% of all 2Gen IS has this color.

It's that rare...

There is one in the lot at Lexus of Portland. I'm really was mindboggled why this was even a color option until PhilipMSPT explained it.

When the Acura RSX first came out, they had a similar color called Desert Sage or something like that. That would be funny if there was some kind of connection between the two cars that we or maybe just I, don't know about.

After looking at every color in person, yes.

If you get this color, you will definitely have a "unique" IS.

The dealer I got my 2IS from had this color as their very first demo car so it was the first 2IS I ever got to see and drive.

It's a pretty neat color and I'm sure it'll grow on you after a while even if you don't like it that much initially.

Yes, you like or do not like...?

I have never seen it! Just like it in the pix...

I love my desert sage, and it looks great in the florida sun. I saw it at the dealer and had to buy it.
I've yet to see anyone else driveing one in central florida. Talk about rare.
