Black is a no go for me. Either white, red or silver (maybe cloudburst but meh)

Yup, close in age, same phase of life, similar experiences, Cdn. upbringing, Cdn weather and our discontent with clueless SUV awd lovers. But we don't agree on everything - you want white exterior, me not so much.
I kinda like the Infrared - you not so much. LOL.

Damn. These atomic silver ones are looking super fine. This is becoming a brutal process now to pick a colour. I may have to abort the whole thing to keep my sanity. LOL.

^^ I know, I have a new found respect for Atomic Silver....Also, please tell me you love Tim Horton as much as I do (lol)

So my exterior color choices are now WHITE, CLOUDBURST GREY and ATOMIC SILVER (not in any particular order). Other colors are nice but they just don't suite me well...I am also proud to say that I no longer discriminate against any interior color....black, red or white would all be fine although we can't get white with AS.

My LE is apparently in Vancouver, 12ish hours away. They're hoping it'll be here next week. Naturally my wheels and tires got delayed as well.

I feel like they should have sent 305 to Miami lol thatd sell pretty quick

Seriously. this colour choice is really hard.
Cloudburst grey is what my current 350 is right now. Luxurious, but also very conservative. The safe choice.
Atomic silver - flagship colour that only Lexus provides. My wife loves this colour - full of richness she says. Her #1 choice.
USB - something different, unique. I just hope it doesn't look too purple in the wrong lighting . (If I had to pick between USB and GW, I'd pick USB - Grecian looks too light/faded in my opinion).
Infrared - too extreme? I'm 47 . Is it wrong to drive a red car at my age?
Black - too gangster according to my wife. Plus, no contrast with the grille, etc.
White/iridium - same comments as Cloudburst above I would argue.
Incognito - looks like a colour the military would use according to the wife.

Tough choice!

@wthrman2 I saw this white IS 350 with a wrapped roof. Thought you'd like.
