Look up the Lexus allocation spreadsheet if you want to find one in the color you want. I would recommend flying or driving to get the color you want versus playing chicken with production possibly ending later this year. Who knows what is coming down the pipeline. Also, if you're not aware, Toyota/Lexus will not do special order, and getting a dealer to trade allocations is also difficult. Mine said they would, and I tried to follow up and it ended up being an empty promise. So I flew a few states over.

Somewhere I read that Lexus originally planned to get 4 model years out of the 2021+ 3IS refresh. Well, 2024 is the last year of that. So if that is true, 2025 will be a new car and no more IS500. If anyone has any better information I'd like to know.

color was the only thing I was after , had no idea it was so popular, makes sense since I like it too

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.
