maybe they should also encourage their dealers to stop raping their customers and then they wouldnt have to shop in other regions....

Sorry I don't have pictures, but Atomic silver is just one you have to see in person. Still pictures do it about 10% justice. That color has multiple personalities, some of it hue shifting.

I'd recommend going to the dealer and seeing it in the flesh, on the various other models they have in stock. It's so nice...classy.

Sometimes, depending on the brand, you can only see what's been accepted for your store or group of sister stores... If they're connected like that within the system.

And yes, I agree that you did the right thing by passing up on Atomic Silver. Besides the dealer add-ons, it doesn't make sense spending that kind of money if you're not in love with the car/color.


Here are some pictures of an Atomic Silver with red interior. Unfortunately, the color looks a bit washed out in these pictures.

Where did you find these original photos?

Keep in mind the dealer wanted 6200$ over msrp so I can understand, I would have walked too...

You guys are great! Thanks for the photos! I have more inventory to share: Lexus of Highland Park, IL has an Atomic Silver/Black available for delivery by January 31 or so - previous person backed-out - must act fast - no markup at all - contact Daniel 847-861-5825

I can't say enough good things about this dealer - honest and no pressure.

Gotdernit! Of course my thirsty-self didn’t see PR before plugging in my information. 😂

I have PR roots, but I’ll have to pass.
