There are other errors, such as including photos of cars with "F Sport" trunk lid badging and bright-chrome mirror trim on the IS 500.

But it seems like everything in the prior post came true. Atomic Silver is no longer mentioned on the page. I wish we could see an official image of Blue Vector.

Lexus has not updated their pictures. Not shocking unfortunately. The "Hi-res" Molten picture is super pixelated just like last year. Basically minimum effort for the press release.

I agree. I love that incognito exterior color. I'd definitely would have gotten it, given the option.

Looks like MY24 Special Appearance Package is limited to 150 vehicles, so Blue Vector IS500 might end up being desirable.

Nice. But the IS 500 has never been available with F Sport badging on the rear. They discontinued that style for model year 2022.

Too bad that color is on Toyotas as well, so it's not "exclusive" either.

It's still the only way to get the two tone interior, so far.

But is it on any Lexus, though?

I kid, it is a bit of a bummer it couldn't have been that awesome yellow color on the RC F and LC.

At the end, only 150 IS500 would be out in the wild with this shade from the factory and it really doesnt matter its is found in Toyotas. People pay good chunk of money to get similar blues through BMW Individual and Porsche PTS programs.

Blue Vector makes me think of Miami Blue, which has got to be one of my favorite Porsche colors.

the smaller the car, the brighter the color - is my rule of thumb. The IS is not small enough to pull off blue vector.
