That's Ok. But that dimpled golf ball LS was way cooler.

The fuzz material itself is out of the question, of course, but that WOULD be a nice production paint color for the IS, although it would look better with a little more green to make it more of a lime-green instead of green-yellow.

A number of years ago, the Dodge Neon offered that exact yellowish-green color, stock, from the factory.

I'm not sure that I want Lexus to use the Dodge Neon as it's benchmark...

It's hard to say. Both will fare well in the parking lot. You'll never notice the dings on the LS, and the soft side of the IS would put Saturn's plastic body panels to shame.

No, of course not. The Neon, quality-wise, was a piece of junk. But paint color, which has nothing to do with vehicle reliability, is a different matter. The Neon DID have some nice pastel paint colors...one of which just about matched the Lexus pictured here.
