My color preference was:

1)Black Sapphire Pearl
2) Tie between TP and SGM

They had no BSP, but had a TP and SGM 350. The TP had the lux package and it won me over

SGM is nice....but needs a lot of attention to keep it clean....

TP is the best color..... you can barely noticed even it's dirty,.....

I like my tungsten pearl. Common as it maybe, personally I think its a great color. At the end of the day, its all about personal preferences.

I like the Tungsten! Plus one thing not mentioned is that this Tungsten color is the BEST color if you want a clear bra for the car. ALL other colors show the bra when your close more than the silver. I have the 3M bra and you can barely tell. I have had people in my car for months before they noticed.

My 1st choice in color was white, but I was also very adamant about not having wood trim on the inside. I initially dismissed the silver as too plain and since I had owned a silver car for 5 years, I thought i really wanted something different. After I saw TP in person, I fell in love.

I think that wheels and red overlays on the tails make a huge difference in making the silver look really sharp. Personally I think that while the white looks the most luxurious, the silver is the sportiest color offered on the IS. I also really liked the red(car color), however I do not like how the taillights look in that color combo.

I guess while some might say the silver is plain, I see it as a great platform for detail mods. It's compatible with practically all other colors.


Tungsten love:

I wanted black at first but this was on the lot the first week it came out. The only thing I hate about this color is probably getting a bodykit, quite hard to match yah?



Next car is white though :P

You can't go wrong with silver, it might look basic but once you have it, you'll soon realise it's the right color to get.

The other color to want is Black, but you can't really see the lines of the car, it only show swirl marks...

I'm not a big fan of silver cars, but the TP is an exception. I don't care for the the light blue (breakwater blue), but it's alright. The only colors I don't like at all are the gold (golden almond) and green (desert sage).

My IS350 is my 19th car - all have been Silver of some type, and the Tungsten Pearl is one of my all time favorites:

Silver was my first color choice for the IS... I'm one of those people that actually like silver cars...

I ISX50 pulls off the TP color very nicely. I personally am tired of silver colored cars, but the IS makes it look very nice.
