I am biased because I own and love my Blue Vector but I have to say it is a polarizing color. Some of my family members drool over it, some absolutely hate it saying it is "too loud". All I know is I love it and it's my car so screw what anyone else thinks 🤣🤣

I think it's better than Grecian Water, just bc it knows what it wants to be more.

I have had my VB for about 3 weeks now and still love the beautiful blue, when I see an almost identical shade of blue on exotics (quite a few here in AZ) Porches, Ferraris, Lambos and such I certainty do not think Toyota!

I got to see it yesterday up-close, and it is such a nice color. @DLPTony's and my cars are in this video, which is mainly to compare USB 2,0 versus VB. My car is just sorta chilling in the background lol. But I have to agree with Mike here that I like VB a lot more in person than I thought I would.

A Smurf wearing glitter.

I was surprised how much metallic flake it has when seeing it in person.

I've called it Smurf from the beginning. The same color is going around, I've seen the Smurf Corvette, etc. around.

Glitter you say, maybe it is Smurfette Blue.



I do want to see it in person. It looks good.

The color is ill-suited to a sedan, especially a Lexus.

It's unfortunate how many car companies listen to people like you and only offer grayscale plus maybe a midnight blue if we're lucky. And this, coming from a guy whose cars have been: dark dark grey, dark dark grey, and white (if you count my wife's cars, too, then add silver and silver! to the mix).

Just because I'm a no-fun puddle of lame doesn't mean other people shouldn't live a little!

If Lexus listened to me they would have released a green, purple, brown, or anything other than another blue. The BF is a bad fit and it was a totally missed opportunity from Lexus to add to the color palette.
