Good thing I saw the color in person on the LC 500 or I would never had given Infrared a chance and would have told my sales guy only Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0. Lexus own pictures for the IS 500 in Infrared for the launch of the IS 500 are the worst for the color. It looks dull and unexciting and the pictures are a little pixely so they went a little too hard on the compression. However have you seen the ONE picture they did for the Molten Pearl color? It's terrible.
What a dull looking color that looks nothing like what it does in reality. Literally any one of us can take a more vibrant picture than this...
They forgot to convert this pic to jpg. It was a png file and they must have made it larger because it's so pixely. Go home Lexus Press Department you're drunk...

I wasn’t a fan of the Molten either based on the pics. When I saw it in person, my mind was changed. Most pics do not do this color justice. I could also say the same for the Silver Enkeis. I couldn’t stand them in the marketing pics until I saw them in person.
^^ I know.what you mean, now looking for a repacement and likely going with the corolla hatch although the 2024 chevy trax really intrigues me.
To make matters worse, I lost my dad about a week ago so needless to say, its been a bit overwhelming but in a way, having it written off took a bit of stress and unknown off my hand. Still not sure why they did though, they cut me a check for 33k whem a out 18k would have repaired but I had no idea or input on their decision...oh well

Very sorry to hear for your loss wthrman2.
Regarding the car - better you just got a cheque and be done with it. That thing looked completely totaled and insurance companies don't bother beyond a certain point of repair.
^^ much appreciated and yeah, i am sure there is a formula being used. In the end, i am happy with the fact i dont have a heavily damaged vehicle on my hand. I would have always been worried of hidden gremlins or potential issues.

Oh my goodness, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Sending energy of strength to you and the family. 💙💪🏽
Thank God your girlfriend is okay! 🙏🏽 I pray nightly that we’re all kept safe on these roads.
Congrats lol. Welcome to the club of gas consumption lol. I practically live at the gas station
I've actually been shocked at how good my mileage has been. I get ~26 on the highway and ~20 on my regular commute (half city half highway). I'm sure those will drop in the winter, but still... I was prepared for much worse. Annoys me that the car computer can't get the mileage right, though. It reads roughly 1.5 mpg better than reality.

Well I envy you there lol. You must have better throttle control than me. Its always tempting to be on the gas cause of the sound.
