Not sure if it's already been posted but apparently the window sticker for the Blue Vector cars shows the color as 'Blue Flame', same as the Toyotas.

dont' think anyone in here is losing sleep about it as it's a known issue (amongst other unedited details/features on the listings) and shared color in Toyota's line

Didn’t say it’s an issue at all, although this isn’t on a dealer listing, it’s on the manufacturer’s window sticker for the car. It’s just interesting to see.

If only he had bought his IS 500 in Infrared the marriage would have been saved.

You misspelled Atomic Silver. Seriously though, if you're going to buy a sports sedan without consulting your wife, it's probably a good idea to pick a color you know she absolutely loves or just go with a "safe" color (silver, gray, white, or black).

You don't know how right you are! I called the dealership and asked the sales person who said that the guy bought the car, his wife didn't like it and he traded it in 3 days after buying it.

Women are more practical, they see the IS 500 and imagine themselves loading kids and car seats in the rear seats, they imagine going to Costco and trying to load 2 shopping carts worth of stuff in the trunk, they imagine riding only inches off the ground when they could have had a Toyota Highlander or mini van. Us guys just see what's under the hood and we're sold, we'll make it work no matter what it takes!

My idea of practical was it seats four and I can fold down the seats for my bike and other longish items. It's not as practical as my wagon, but they don't make an IS Wagon. Boo!!!
