Moderators will intervene with all this non-IS 500 chatter - Let's all get back on topic folks!
EhArgh - Your LE looks AMAZING!! I think this car is the most intriguing color to me because it changes so much from pics to pics. On some, I swear it is the most amazing looking car ever (including that youtube video from Kelowna) yet in some pics, it looks meh. No question that looking at it from your pics makes me drool. Now hopefully some good quality pics of the White will be posted soon, the suspense is killing me! There has been so many pics of the other colors (GW, red, Incognito, Cloudburst), it is time of us whities lovers to be given a little nugget to salivate

^^ BTW - Do you know the reason for the 001 and 500 to be reserved? These units will be allocated to a specific customer or something?

One of the dealerships that I talked last May when I showed interest in the car got back to me yesterday saying they received 2 launch editions one was presold to a salesman and the second one is being kept by the owner as a showroom display! I remember this happening with the LFA too, some dealers kept them as display pieces but ultimately it should’ve been offered for sale, nevertheless anyone on the coast that wants to see a is500 they said they were more than happy to have people check it out.

Congrats! I'm honestly not crazy about the LE primarily because Incognito looks kinda flat in most pictures, but this shot right here makes it look really interesting - The way the gray shifts in the different lighting. I hope to see one in person one of these days.

^^ I know eh?!?! It would be cool to drive a car that changes color daily without a new payment that comes with it (lol)....That is exactly how I feel, this is the most intriguing color for me. Usually, i see a color and I am like "Yup" or "nope" and that's it, but this color has me all over the place

Looks like #500 is “RESERVED’” per the other thread right above your post tracking what is where.

Issa - Looks like your idea would have been so noble and heartwarming - Will be interesting to see who gets these units. Maybe some rich car collector - Certainly not me, all my money goes on Timbits!
I assume the 1 and 500 will be a US car and not destined for the Canadian market?!

Oh yeah for sure, not saying anything bad about the dealership at all, I was just surprised they kept a car as a showroom display.
