I love the color. I do not like the black mirrors and the wheels. I like the 2022 and 2023 Enkei wheels in chrome and black chrome or gunmetal. Whatever that 23 darker color was. The black BBS are cool, but not for every car.

 

Just scrolled through my pics and none with a flare yellow! I need to fix that. 😎

 

I'm happy they went with something different though than another blue or shade of grey. But since they already have one flamboyant color the nori green really would have been a nice addition. Still love my infrared though, I wouldn't trade it for any other color and power mirrors aren't important enough to me. I look forward to seeing one in the wild to see what the yellow looks like in person though

 

I'm glad it isn't because i would would be in the same boat. My wallet is glad they didn't.

 

This would be a close second to Infrared for me.

Not sure how to feel about the revised BBS design. Maybe it could grow on me. I still prefer the 2023-4 BBS, though a bronze would be even better!
I am a little bummed that I didn't end up with powered mirrors, but it shows they are listening to feedback. Though, maybe it's only in canada...

 

Well, we should not write off color additions to the lineup and the hope of getting other choices. Not saying anything we do not already know, they could add a color or delete a color from the option list apart from the special appearance package. So here is to Copper Crest, Nori Green, Amethyst, NightFall Mica, a return of Grecian Water, you name it... being added to the optional color choices!. We will see. I think this flare yellow was a great call by Lexus. A two tone tan/black interior would have been truly unique. As it is, I called the dealer and asked to be notified when they learn of any changes, if any to the color lineup. Strange thing is, I love my Atomic Silver/Circuit Red. I guess I just want two IS 500's. Giddy Up!

 

I'm the same. When I saw a Nori Green LC500 with a tan interior in a Lexus showroom, I was truly impressed. This is a great color combo - very rich, deep color, elegant, luxurious look. I love my Infrared as well, but this Nori Green is right up there, neck and neck.

 

Oh that yellow, brutal. I feel like I jumped in a time machine to 2002 and just ordered (3) truckloads of Mitsubishi OZ Lancers.

True story - my first vehicle allocation and I never knew I was supposed to select the colors. I let them roll in 6 months later with whatever the factory had set as a default. Sure enough --- (27) yellow OZ Lancers, most with a spoiler, all with a 6-disc changer, and most with a sunroof hit our lot on the same day... within a hour of each other. If we had not been the top dealer in the country, I most likely would have lost my job. There is nothing about that yellow appealing to me... I saw that color in 2002 on the Mitsubishi--- just like I saw the 'new' Corvette body in 1999 when I worked at Ferrari... lol!!!!

 

I will say, that yellow is very early-2000s.

There's a yellow IS 300 at a house I drive by on a regular basis. I kinda dig it.

(This color.)



Flare Yellow has a hint of orangey pearl to it, which I think helps a lot.

 

Looks like Molten Pearl, Vector Blue and Flare Yellow will all end up being polarizing colors.

I'm disappointed that the new BBS wheels will also have the matte dark finish. I was hoping they would have a polished silver type of finish to show off that Y design.

 

Would anyone be interested if Copper Crest was offered on the IS 500?

 

personally, no... but there are tons of Avon sales reps still out there - lol!!!!!

 

I tend to agree. I used to think Infrared was a bit too bold, but it seems it is more subdued now. Lots of red cars out there and blends in.

 

Copper Crest is a great looking color. When you see it in person, it looks even better!

 

Too bad the RX500h F sport performance is one of the worst Lexus vehicles in recent history.
