No. Incognito only.

A question for all, if another color was available for the Launch Edition, what would you have liked to see?

Structural Blue from the LC would be AWESOME!

Not normally my favorite "color", but I think the IS looks best in black, especially with the black chrome exterior trim on the IS500. So I'd have to go with Black as my fantasy Launch Edition color selection. Ideally with dark gray or titanium-colored wheels to add a little contrast, as I dislike black wheels in general.

I think a satin black with some metallic flakes in the paint would have looked mean.

I think Blazing Carnelian off the LC would have been great.



The orange on the RCF was terrible, but the newer color is much more premium while being sporty. The yellow they had on the GSF was terrible and looked more like it sat in the sun for 15 years first. Structural blue as well since the story/engineering is cooler than the color itself. USB is nice, and would have paid homage to the ISF. The nardo/Incognito they picked is nice, but a bit too boring now since Audi, Kia, Scion, Toyota, etc have beaten it to death.

I received confirmation from my dealer in Scottsdale that my Launch Edition has been allocated to them, with delivery likely around late September/early October! Unfortunately, they still don't have details on pricing and packages.

that's awesome! keep us posted on the pricing. even though I'm not interested in the LE, the pricing of the LE and any markup your dealer applies, will be good to know.

Will do! One thing I am sure about is that if there is any "markup" my funds will be shifted to a used LC500 or RCF.
