I've noticed mine tends to get dirty down low right behind the wheels, like the tires are throwing debris off, especially at the rear. Otherwise, dust is not any more noticeable than it is on any of the other millions of light colored vehicles here.

I can't seem to capture the true color of GFM in my photos. It always looks white. Tried adjusting color in Photochop to bring out more of the blue pearl but then something else in the background looks bad. I think an overcast or cloudy day is what's needed for a truer representation.
my first choice was the GFM but then at night it had a purplish hue to it... the sales guy agreed. i just ended up with the white. basically i love white at night and GFM by day

I notice the dust pretty readily, but I don't think it detracts terribly from the look of the car since I keep it minor. But that's probably just me, and this bay area dust/dirt which is pitch black in color...

Just got my 2007 IS350 in GFM. <--- GOOD STUFF
Sales did say something like they only made about 8 (didn't mention if thats including 06 and 07, or 2007 models alone) of the IS350s in GFM for sale in California Dealerships.
not too sure.

Honestly i think the IS350s are quite rare with with GFM, ive seen a few IS250s in GFM, but not 350.

oh yeah and i was unable to get mine with the luxury package
they dont have that combination available, need to be special ordered.
couldn't wait so i went with whatever.

Any number like that the dealer gives you is them trying to con you out of more money. It is, however, a lower-volume color, as are breakwater blue and desert sage.
