Me too, I'm keeping mine for now too. I just noticed something weird though. When I look at this pic on my laptop, the blue seems really light but when I look at it on my phone, the blue seems much darker. They look like two completely different colors depending on what device I am using. Weird.

haha...not weird, it's normal unless the screens are exactly the same and the settings are the same...and even then, sometimes the projection of the picture varies. the reason why you see disclaimers on some sites.

put away the screen and use the force...haha. the best way to see the actual color is go to a Toyota dealer and look for the Rolla or the rav4 (I think)...or see one on the streets

So I took your advice and found a blue flame rav4 for sale at a dealer near me. For those wondering, my phone screen was more accurate. The laptop screen made the car look too light blue.

I dont mind this color but i prefered the orange as it was more "loud" for lack of a bettter word.

I have been exploring the option of a 2024 (white on white) but i am really not digging the all black mirror. Why cant Lexus stop playing with all these colors, minor tweaks and just wait after a few years to do a mmc. For example, the enkei wheels are now on the 350, the incognito also, now the BBS are everywhere, just seems like the lines between a 350 and a 500 are more blurred which isnt all bad, especially given i was willing to put the 350 wheels on mine.

What is even weirder, i canads, there are o ly 2 trims in the 350, the cheaper trim gets the deck spoiler while the mlre expensive trim doesnt, like wtf!?
