That looks so good.

And sleeper potential, just needs a Joe-Z exhaust and a RR780 on it.

^^ One that won't sell above MSRP! (lol) That is such a sad sight but thanks for sharing!

It was an interesting read and shows how quickly an accident can happen but at least he owned up and didn't try to blame the car

Oh no! At least the guy is okay. Seeing that hurts my soul though.

Right on, I am prepared to pay over MSRP for the desired dealer add-ons, but extra money just because? No thanks.

Did any of you catch that the Ultra White on the new NX is now metallic? Do you think the 2022 IS350s/500s in Ultra White have the same metal flake?

Which model? Which year? One of the things I always disliked about ultra white was how it was just a flat white. This changes everything!
