Are Blue Vector and Grecian Water available in Japan?
The 2008-2009 S2000 CR was built for the US Market and Apex Blue Pearl is really close too both.
BMW Laguna Seca Blue demands a premium because everyone loves it. I bet Lexus did this on purpose.
I was really hoping they would bring back the silver Enkei wheels for the final year, with that E90/92 M3 Competition vibes are really strong.
That being said, I hate black wheels and would love to see someone with a 2023 Molten Pearl that reminds me of Lime Rock and Fire Orange sitting on Silver Enkeis post pics.
Staying on topic, Incognito on Red on Enkeis will be a very desirable combo IMHO.

So...... I may have some bad news for those of you expecting black mirror trim on the 2024s.....
Lexus is notorious for writing and rendering crap that doesn't actually make it to the cars. I went on Cargurus to start looking at 2024 models and I found 2 IS350s (yes I know not the same car but hear me out) with the Blackout Package which is supposed to put the IS500 window trim and it also says on the window sticker that it has the dark chrome outside mirror trim. However.... the pictures on both of the cars show the black trim only on the windows and not on the mirror.

Those of you that were around for 2023 may recall that Lexus pulled a similar stunt where they stated and rendered that the 2023 IS350 would get black trim on the windows by default then the cars started landing with chrome trim and they just went back and updated the specs and changed the images out. I fear that this may be happening here as well...
Unfortunately I was not able to find an IS500 pictures so we will have to wait and see once those pictures start coming out.

Oh snap I can’t believe I missed the bulge and the exhausts. That’s was silly of me. I looked at another one which was a Caviar 350 so I guess I assumed this one was a 350. I guess this settles it then…. No black mirror trim lol. So it seems that there is quite literally no difference between the 2023 and 2024 IS500. Nice. Snag up those 23s if you see them on lots. You can certainly get a good deal.

I went to the actual dealers web page in Allentown where that cargurus pulled from. It shows the red IS500, but when you click it it's a IS350 AWD. THE one IS500 they actually have in stock, both according to their inventory and Lexus corporate is blue...and it's a 2023. Also, when you click the red IS500 pic that is a actually for an IS350, the pics aren't actually there and it loads a default image.
Basically...their website is all ****ed up and I'll put a full dollar on it that they are auto generating pics of colors to put on vehicles they don't actually have pics of yet and/or are in transit and not on the lot.

Actually I just checked again looking for specifically 2024 IS350's...that dealer (according to Lexus actual inventory) doesn't have a single 2024 on the lot OR in transit. There is only 1 in a 50 mile radius of that dealer.
I'm guessing their website moderator needs to be fired.
