That red is also growing on me.. I'll call back and put more options on the table! The least picky I am, the more chances I have getting one.

I’m not normally a fan of red cars, but it looks freaking amazing in this video. I’m sticking with my USB though… 😎

I know what you are saying - I feel that my dealer would call me if he was allocated an IS500 that was in a different color and say "Listen, I was allocated one in (color X), do you want it? To be honest, while I feel the same you do, I also don't feel I want to compromise on what I really want because it is a fairly expensive car and I want to LOVE IT, not LIKE IT. I am already making a compromise without the sunroof so I don't want to feel that I am desperate to want any color. That being said, I would be willing to compromise on the interior color if white wouldn't be available - My preference are white, black and then red.

I have to admit USB would be my next go-to color if I didn't go white - that color as so much depth.

^^^ Stick to your guns. You’re right about loving vs liking.

All over YouTube or Instagram…

Or even all the Sub Forums we have here for each dedicated “F” model

Search IS F or RC F or GS F with modified / aftermarket exhaust

The red looks great. It would be nice if you could get the LE interior with non-LE colors. Exterior color wise, I'd prefer blue, red or white over Incognito but I really like the two tone, two material LE interior.

The IS image on the US Lexus site has changed to an IS500 but still no 2022 build.

Oh crap! It's happening! I knew this was gonna be a good week! Unfortunately I still have the old atomic silver picture on my end
Now all that's missing is my dealer confirming my IS is somewhere in the middle of the Pacific waiting to be unloaded in 6 months lmao

Hmmm... that didn't work for me. I even tried it out on my phone. Oh well. At least you guys see it. Maybe its a regional thing? But I doubt it

Nice find. 😎
A little backwards, I know, but... I usually jump straight to the Future Vehicles tab to see if the IS500 has been removed from that section.

I absolutely LOVE my Joe Z exhaust and Sikkyv2 header setup/sound on my ISF! EVERY single time I drive it a time or 2 a month) I get compliments on the sound. In my honest opinion, and I've heard just about every NA stock/production motor out here, the only engines that sound better are the Aventador V12, Huracan V10, and LFA V10. That says alot about the 2URGSE. I highly suggest doing an aftermarket exhaust exhaust on this IS500. Outside of sport/manual modes, it honestly sounds stock....but when you want it to be a beast, it can and will be! Straight music to your ears!
