The blue is just too dark for my taste, and thus would be harder to keep clean. Personal choice.

blue is def too dark..if it were more of a candy blue (see BMW M3, Audi S4) then I would be all about it. And I chose the red because you didn't offer any other alternatives...I think the red would have been more appealing if it were like the Mercedes Benz mars red. I guess im a meat and potatoes kind of guy..i go for the classic "classy' colors...pearl white, piano black, and brilliant silver.


The crystal white was definitely my favorite looking color on the lot...it glowed a pink color under the sun, at night it gets pink and a blue hue. Plus its another excuse for me to touch(AKA wash) my car at least once a week.

Where are the pictures to choose from? Don't know what the Black Sapphire looks like but I like the Matador Red so that got my vote.

Nevermind about the pictures I just saw Technique's Black Sapphire. To each his own but between the two color choices I'll stick with the red.

I pu those two choices because if I'm lucky to get the the IS, its only in those two colors. I like the red too, but in the pictures it looks way bright. I was hoping for a dark red, like a burgendy(sp)

You should get the Black Sapphire it is not so bright and it fit your taste more. Beside red is not your color because red is my color and i special ordered one already. There should be one less red and more blue so that my color could stand out more. LOLZ

Matador Red is one of the best paint I've seen on any car & it works very well with the IS

Here's some pictures to judge from:

Matador Red Mica:


Black Sapphire


These are two fantastic colors, and I really don't know which one I would pick if I had the choice... I guess I would go with whichever one I could get sooner...

The red, no doubt. I feel like if you're going to consider the blue, you might as well get black, which looks even better. The red, though, looks awesome.
