Flare Yellow will look awesome but it's too flashy for me. Now if Nori Green Pearl was available that would have sucked lol.
Yeah honestly, I wonder if getting a MY2025, but not the Flare Yellow, would be worth it just to get some of the minor upgrades. I like the BBS wheels, and I like the power mirrors. Also, if I did it, I'd get the black side mirrors, as well. I have a 2023, so it still has the little chrome strip... and I haven't gotten off my butt to go get that changed.

I agree, the yellow is too flashy for me. (Says the guy with an electric blue car with the murder scene red interior.) 🤣
The green, although I freaking love it, would be too sedate in my opinion. Not as youthful.

Not me, I’m keeping mine!
1. Even though it’s paid off, I’d lose my shirt over the amount of miles (31K).
2. I’m lucky/blessed that Blu did not have any of the well known ‘gremlins’ or weird rattles. That fact alone earned my loyalty. 😎
Honestly, unless they put in a twin-turbo V8 making north of 700 hp and a 10-speed transmission, I'm not parting ways with mine for a few extra gadgets and different colors. I am a bit surprised they went bold with flare yellow and didn't adopt the others in their arsenal like Nori Green, for ex. Says the guy who has infrared. LOL.
It's all love man, all love. But I do think Lexus's marketing department / photography has been abysmal for this car. They have put in zero effort 2023 model onward and 2022's infrared pictures were not the best. It's worth a bet to see if they put the same minimal effort for 2025.

Oh I agree 100%, that’s why it’s so funny! Their pics have been off from the beginning. I remember being scared of the circuit red because it was soooo red online. Totally different reality in person.

Minimum effort guaranteed lol. I thought I remember Mike Forsythe had some pics of a 500 wrapped in yellow. Maybe in one of those mountain run pic threads @arentz07 and @DLPTony have posted?
I wonder if these new BBS wheels will be uber expensive like the current ones?
Yeah Flare Yellow doesn't do it for me. Also I realize it's not the best picture but the new wheels I don't think are an upgrade from the existing BBS wheels. Why do all the wheels now have to be black. Can we do some polished wheels again?
I jokingly said this color combo would be the next IS 500 color combo...
Be careful what you say!

That was fast.
