Longer than you’ve been a member of the IS500 forums…
Just wait until you hear me *****ing about Grecian Water V2 (Blue Vector)
not that it matters but I’ve been on the forums in general since 2008. Maybe I don’t post every single day or month etc…. But yeah… been around the block awhile. Anyway….
Honestly with all the smack I talk about regarding Grecian Water, this pic genuinely looks stunning. I like it much more than Blue Vector. I think what killed GW for me is that I’m sick and tired of seeing so many IS300s in that color all with Glazed Caramel interiors. I find that combo so ugly, especially on what is essentially a base model car.
I saw a GW NX recently, and I thought it looked awesome. The only time I don't like GW is when USB 2.0 is also available.
I think both are better than Blue Vector (Flame?). But, I also like that Blue Vector is this super loud bright blue, just not for me.
So far all the 2024 models in my 500 mile search area are all gray, white, and black. All of them so far have the optional BBS wheels. The wait continues...
^^ Keep hunting for the one & be ready to head out of state for the desired color / combo.
I travel from the Great Lakes to the Gulf in my business and multiple times a week I am checking every dealer within a 500 mile radius. I will get my Caviar/red with Enkeis.

I have only seen one I500 premium with Enkeis and not a single non premium model in over a year in my 500 mile area. I do know where a Caviar/Circuit Red premium is located. It has the BBS wheels though. I am in the Gulf South. PM if you want the location.
^^ I've been willing to trade in my 2021 IS350 for the last year for the perfect IS500. I haven't been in a rush because I like my car and I like the 2.05% interest rate on the loan. I'll be ready to pounce when one does come up though.
Today a Caviar/Red fully loaded 2024 IS350 with Blackout Package just arrived at my dealership in Chicago. I decided to pass and go for the V8.
