Default This Blue is FIRE

if I didn’t get an LE, I would get this color or Red. I saw this one at Lex of Margate on Thursday. A Sales guy saw my face as I was admiring it and said that he can see me in it..I had to stop him quickly by telling him that I have an LE.

Allow me to offer a counterpoint: Meh. Blue Flame is an abomination of a color from Toyota, the worst of the three blues offered on the IS500, and a totally missed opportunity to offer a unique color. Just my opinion tho, I can see why some might like it.

I used to have a WRB Blue STI, so I like it as a color. I'm undecided on whether I like it as a color on an IS500.

World Rally Blue is a very different shade. I had it on my 2004 WRX Wagon and loved it. It's darker than Blue Vector or "Smurf" as I call it. It's OK, I'm sure it looks better in person but Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 is my favorite period.

More views, sounds and thoughts on the Blue Vector

I like the color, the IS 500 needs exciting colors; yellow, purple, lime green, and blue vector.

I kinda like it and I'm sure it looks spectacular in person. My Infrared looks way better in person than whatever "perfect lighting" photoshoots I can post here on this forum. Point of fact, the IS500 looks spectacular in any colour . It is just a really good looking car. Full stop.

Complete agree. GREAT color in person. Definitely would’ve been my #1 choice but for there being another IS already in my neighborhood in that color.

I like this blue but don't like the idea that Lexus is using Toyota color especially from a Corolla, I mean at least add a drop of white or something to make it different but nope.

I can see that argument.

I haven’t seen the BV or BF in person, but my old neighbor had a Voodoo Blue 4Runner and I absolutely LOVED it! The BV (on camera at least) seems to be a luxier version of the Voodoo Blue. I can’t wait see it at C&O! 💙

When I was shopping for the IS500, I was wanting to get the USB. I never seen the Grecian Water in person, but when I saw the Blue Vector in person, I was pretty much sold.
